Maybe we shouldn't be encouraging "innovation" if it's at the expense of other people?
Innovation serves some and “disrupts” others.
Uber might be a handy ride for you. A NYC cabbie who is in debt for his medallion might see it the opposite.
There's no contradiction here. If certain applications are illegal, you don't get to decide that regulation is inconvenient to your "innovation" and deal with the consequences later. Or rather, that is exactly what you do to make $megabux, and that's what should not be allowed.
I intended to make a narrower more trivial observation that innovation produces winners and losers. Innovation is just competition.
The "dark side" of privacy concerns is that you can't merely pick one boogeyman and pretend that killing them fixes everything.
