This is sheer moral panic. Of course tools can be misused by bad people, but that doesn't make it the tool's fault ("how many women will be beaten and murdered because of Recall"). It is the fault of the person misusing the tool to do bad things.

Thank god. I've been selling front door locks that don't actually work, and I'm glad that when people are robbed, it will be the criminal's fault, not mine. Instead of me selling locks that work, what needs to be done first is that all potential criminals should be made not to be criminals.
