People fear the unknown, and these software applications are new, but the problems they highlight are age old.

We allow people to raise their children to be 'antisocial' to those far outside their cultures simply by making them good citizens within their own. And when they grow up and away from their home cultures, they often act offensively to those of other cultures, which becomes a problem. The Internet has allowed people from many different subcultures to mix, and social networks are considered disasters for it. This is just another level of homogenization. As they say, "You cannot make an omelette without breaking some eggs." One way to solve it is to just shut it all down. Who is for that?
