The following headlines recently appeared in Yahoo! News:
“Apple going to war with Facebook’s web trackers”
“ ‘Detroit: Become Human’ review: Strong characters make your choices matter” (a review of a video survival game about androids)
“Apple has new features to limit your phone addiction”
“How to make sure Russian hackers can’t attack your home router again”
“Facebook investors grill Zuckerberg: ‘Emulate George Washington, not Vladimir Putin’ ”
Headlines like these are now typical — “battles” between tech companies and within tech entertainment, technology addiction, real-life foreign invaders enabled by technology, calls for truth and honesty from tech executives. Merely trying to read the news calls for a moral sophistication that is becoming increasingly difficult.
