"But X is useful" is not the good defense you think it is.

Who is it useful to, for what purposes and who bears the costs/harms?

Child labor is useful (to people wanting to squeeze out some money from desperate people). We still think that it should not exist.

(X in this case is a variable not a fascist social network site)

@tante

Systems that have you concentrate on outcomes and not the process are inherently bad systems.
