When CFCs were destroying the ozone layer they were removed from society.
When leaded petrol was rotting children's brains, it was phased out in favour of unleaded alternatives.
When asbestos was found to cause horrible deaths it was banned.
When radium was found to be incredibly dangerous for general use, it was restricted to just a small niche of medical applications.
Technology is not something that has to be accepted forever, no matter how popular it seems. It can be recalled and restricted if it is found to cause a lot more harm than good.
@FediThing@social.chinwag.org just for the record, asbests protections are being rolled back in the USA (it was never truly banned). It is also an amazing product, in many respects not bettered but only some asbestos types are awful in certain states.
