Literally this. It’s why I advocate for regulations over technological solutions nowadays.

We have all the technology we need to solve today’s ills (or support the R&D needed to solve today’s ills). The problem is that this technology isn’t being used to make life better, just more extractive of resources from those without towards those who have too much. The solution to that isn’t more technology (France already PoC’ed the Guillotine, after all), but more regulations that eliminate loopholes and punish bad actors while preserving the interests of the general public/commons.

Bad actors can’t be innovated away with new technological innovations; the only response to them has always been rules and punishments.
