Planned obsolescence isn't even in my top 10. The worst things about Big Tech are existential, like its use for mass espionage and murder by evil regimes.

Israel literally kept the Golan Heights as a buffer zone inside Syrian territory. It then annexed it and is now occupying new Syrian territory as a buffer zone for Golan Heights. Same in Gaza, same in Lebanon. This is an expansionist power which committs outrages against occupied Palestinians, then when Palestine's allies invoke their right to protect Palestinians, it steals territory.
And only America and Europe can change that by ending their support for its settlements and military. Instead they scheme to undermine all of its neighbors, play on their Sykes-Picot divisions to ensure no progress is made unless it has the Israeli stamp of approval on it.
Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning, or "waterboarding", 183 times while held in secret CIA prisons following his arrest in 2003. Other so-called "advanced interrogation techniques" included sleep deprivation and forced nudity.

Reddit is one of the most infiltrated and astroturfed site. I have absolutely no confidence that the leadership are interested in addressing that. When there were suspicions it was anti-US actors, they had to take action because the government would get involved. But we all know that such pressure doesn't exist for other astroturfing actors, state and private.
2016: "We don't need to change! Look at our opponent, Trump!"
2020: "We'll pretend to be M4A. But the main thing is beating Trump! Worry about change later!"
2024: "We lost, but we did everything right. Americans are the problem. Anyways, Trump is in his last term, so why change?"
"Limited operation."
"Well they have to stay to prevent threats from reconstituting."
"The settlers are just unfortunate extremists."
"Today, I recognize the Litani as sovereign Israeli territory..."
"Learn your lesson: if you attack Israel it will get bigger. FAFO."
"Lebanon is attacking innocent defenseless Jews in Israel's Litani region! What revanchism! They're stuck in the past! We must prevent the Holocaust!"
"Limited operation."
