> We can't solve a political problem with purely technical solutions.
I hear that a lot but historically, we've seen a lot of the opposite, a lot of political problems were solved with technical solutions. Technology so far had an even bigger impact than politics on society.
Could you qualify that statement... politics encompasses most conflicts throughout history. Short of the moon landing... technology hasn’t really featured.
Technology can enable a political will and can create an opportunity for change, but if the political will goes in one direction, no amount of tech will be able to resist it forever.
We could ban ads easily with a law. It would not need any tech. Scrubbing all the ads while there are incentives to develop them, however, is a lost fight.
