If you had the power to 'undo' one technological innovation, what would it be and why?

Undoing the digital cloud feudalism that silently dominates our perception of living in a capitalist society that is NOT the actual truth in e-commerce today. I HIGHLY recommend checking out "Techno Feudalism" by Yanis Varoufakis! He suggests that we submit to the dominance of major technology companies—such as Amazon, Google, Apple, and Meta—by providing them with our data in order to utilize their cloud services much in the same way that serfs, also referred to as peasants, would farm and work for their lords, and in exchange, were allowed to reside within the lord's domain.

Tiktok or p*rn websites. Can't decide between the two.

@umar_saleem TikTok has been linked to a number of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and self-harm. It also lowers the attention span of its users and presents a wrong impression of reality.

If I had the power to withdraw one technology, it might be recommendation algorithms. These algorithms are pervasive across modern digital platforms, and while they do provide content that aligns with user preferences, they also encapsulate people within personalized information bubbles, effectively creating an information cocoon.
