You know what bothers me?
There are a _lot_ of good IT or "tech" things.
The "bad" tech is almost always commercial, surveillance capitalist stuff. Technology built to exploit.
But it's giving all of tech a bad rap. And I hate that.
We can build really awesome things, things that society can profit from. But these things are usually hobbyist or volunteer projects, and severely underfunded. Proprietary exploitation tech is where the money – private _and_ public – goes.
