Doesn't the fact that a technology is fundamentally discriminatory mean we should question the use of that technology? Not just shrug our shoulders and say too bad?

Google absolutely uses article texts. If you search on Google, you'll see the "People also ask" section which might paraphrase your question, and then use sections of direct text from articles to answer your question.

Facebook often has article summaries as well, but I'm unsure whether those are posted by the organization itself or by Facebook.

People keep forgetting that every recall is a fix for a bug/problem in the car. Sure, Tesla's fixes might be easier, but that also means they have the buggier car. Until Tesla actually fixes the problem, it doesn't matter how easy it is to fix: you still have to deal with the fallout.

That's even more immensely true for safety-critical systems like cars. Sure, Tesla's fix for phantom braking might eventually come and it might be an easy software fix. But wouldn't you just rather get a car without that problem?

Maybe the cars are doing surveillance with the police, but that idea seems far fetched and unrealistic

I'm sure that's what people said about Ring, or Facebook messages being used to arrest women for abortions. Why would a company turn down an extra revenue stream (or subpoena)?

They probably did receive threats. The reality is that reddit admins can't seriously replace all mods with new (good) ones. But the mods were so scared of losing their power they wouldn't risk being unable to provide free labor to a billion dollar corporation
