Unfortunately we live in a highly individualistic society. If something is good *FOR YOU RIGHT NOW* then it's good. (Downstream effects on other people be damned!)
I don't know why it's so hard to say, hey, this thing you love? It'd hurting someone else. So, uh, maybe you shouldn't actually love it?
The truth is this isn't a technological problem per se. It's not even really a political problem. It's a moral problem. It's a—dare I say it—religious problem.
Few know how to talk in those terms.
