@tshirtman @polotek @anildash “you can’t fix social problems with technical solutions” is a phrase I see with basically no support whatsoever. Encryption, for example, seems to be a very effective solution to “don’t snoop on private conversations.” There’s even varying levels of technical security based on how much you care.

@agocke @tshirtman @polotek this is only tech solving a social problem if every conversation everywhere is encrypted. You can't fix social problems with technical solutions.

@anildash @tshirtman @polotek if it has to be solved everywhere to be considered solved, nothing can be solved. In some cases it looks like only tech can solve social problems, e.g. gun control.
