Thank you. Any the end of his life Foucault explored the notion and especially the process of truth telling (pharresia); moving on from his archeological and genealogical periods he was at the end still about how it is, not anything to do with morality. Thoughts evolves and what is deemed right and wrong evolves. But there are moral, immoral and amoral outcomes. Kantian ethics and all of that. The tech is what it is, phenomenon we experience, the things not does to us. What is a possible interesting truth for me is how digitisation in general is increasing the distances between us rather than the early hope for the commercial internet which was to bring us together, which indeed Medium is doing here. If we tell our truths and others tell their truths and be authentic we can get better is that's what we aspire to (growth). Ascribing good or bad to a thing is not literally true in their nature but a useful dialectical tool, and finding out what we believe to be true as a consequence of the assignation is very useful. Imho global laws that permit these kinds of platforms have failed whole populations, coupled with the retreat of religious based morality, but like encryption and hacking its a constant evolution.
