The tech behind Uber is fantastic. Its the way it was used that is nasty. Similarly with AirBnB. If AirBnB had restricted the use of its platform to people wanting to rent out a room in their house or their apartment it would have been much better.

But I completely agree with you, a lot of the tech has been hugely detrimental to the public. And the government do no oversight.
