New Re: Questions.
Belive that you recognize that ‘Private IT’ was quite unSpecific, opening to such masterful rebuttals as the replies, especially Andrew's--with more than one-liners)
As phrased re. "inescapable errata", here, isn’t this query akin to [does this have a TLA yet, elsewhere?] Someone is Wrong on the Intarweb.

I would go with …
The Corporation™©® et seq.. as the culprits in the Specific, intricate, premeditated purveying of *Self-serving unalloyed, Göbbels-Class" invariably-Greed-derived/perfected PROPAGANDA
(starting with virtually every BIZ-related preoccupation a one might find synonyms for (when ever trying for some complete-list fantasy, to make some Point.)

* That “Self-“ as we all know via all living experience: is, Duh, the Usual 0.1 or worse 0.001% who casually design and determine dis-USA policies
..and their egregious inescapable Hypocrisy-in-all matters, as: (Say one simple example)

(Story recently replayed on an NPR program)
George Washington’s vendetta against a Female Slave who Fled.. his tender, putative darkies-lovin? sinecure.
She, via underground Rwy and gumption and Righteousness, escaped the mofo-of-Substance's dragnet(s)
and lived a (..I guess rather ordinary) LIFE) dying elderly-enough: of natural causes.

Simple summary: just Follow the Money/Greed/Hypocrisy afflictions via ordinary inculcated mind algorithms, and you’ve also landed on that democracy-destroying,
inescapable by-product of Murican [and perhaps All..?] “capitalism-as-actually IN Situ" all along. "IT" encompasses Too Much, inextricable with its undeniable boons, so well limned above.



Hang in there; methinks that all here are on the Same-side of the seeming inevitable—and soon, should Drumpf escape Justice again—actual/authentic Barricades w/ torches

[ … and even aided-by my secret Phlogiston™ brought into use, via my revealing its simple ingredients]

New Yes, I was ambiguous and overstated.
I should have not suggested that "nothing good" has come from the private use of computer technology. I should have said that private use of computer technology (like the Internet itself) has had a net negative impact on society.

New It wouldn't have made any difference
Because you'd still be stuck at [citation needed].
New The OP would be a good start. And of vastly greater consequence ...
Horrible happenings in Manchester. I hope you and yours (including extended "yours") are all well and safe.
