Travis Shrugged: The creepy, dangerous ideology behind Silicon Valley’s Cult of Disruption

10. That is a false claim in many cases

Recently the former head of the US Copyright office offered his opinion that under current law, any new tech that involves media be required to have explicit Congressional permission prior to sale. That is the kind of thinking we are seeing more of these days, and businesses use their politicians to protect a business model that has been usurped.

The example being flogged by the OP is not a typical case of disruptive technology. It is also a technology that will be in place in other cities, though maybe not by that vendor soon enough.

What new tech does is bring down business models and generally empowers people. Yet there are those who attempt to legislate against that kind of evolution. As long as individuals are not being harmed, I think such behavior is reasonably classified as Luddite.

I am being dismissive since that is all the OP and its citation merit.
