    Does Google, Twitter, Facebook, or any company ever discuss internally the consequences on society if their "latest, greatest, most wonderful" technology is taken to it's "logical extreme" by: (1) Criminals, (2) Psychopaths, (3) Ex-spouses, (4) Overzealous law enforcement, (5) Extremists of any ilk, (6) Governments that contain any or all of the prior?

    Why did you include "contain any or all of the prior" when referencing Government. I think it is safe to say that every government entity on Earth since the beginning of time has had (1) Criminals, (2) Psychopaths, (3) Ex-spouses, (4) Overzealous law enforcement, (5) Extremists of any ilk and more unnamed types that are more than willing to set aside decency in an attempt to pad their own pockets.

    As to your question, I think the answer may be somewhat complex, requiring the investigation of thousands of variables, investigation of human motivations, determinations as to scope, et cetera. Oh hell, who am I fooling. The answer is NO!
