If anything good can be said of this tech, is that it shows you which people is
worth keeping around and which people deserves to be taken out and shot.
The bad news is the list of people who deserves to be taken out and shot
outnumbers the list of people worth having around.
But think of this
In today's digital world, where most social intereaction (for some people) ins
online, blocking somebody is seen as the ultimate sign of aggresion. Maybe it
is stupid, but some people take being blocked very seriously. As if you had
stolen their dog or something.
