" technology that are inherently predatory,”
What a bunch of nonsense. I suspect the real reason is more likely: they have a far-left bias on many articles and fascists/totalitarians etc can't survive when people are free for long. When there is free discourse and a monetary instrument that can't be as easily censored as bank accounts (see e.g. Canada) they, and their masters, lose. A technology that allows people to is decentralized and censorship resistant is unacceptable.
