Exactly! (Plus bitcoin mining. Same deal, really - a flawed tech with some potential and some use, but that does not justify the associated environmental harm.)

Of course, tech bros like Schmidt won’t like the solution.

And if the underlying tech improves in such a way that it stops being fined, it stopped being part of the problem.
