The important issue in thinking about problems is understanding all the interconnected problems.

The internet is a horrifically hostile place. If you design a product without that in mind you're creating a danger for yourself and for your users. Slap a community site up without thinking about COPPA or GDPR or whatever Californian law and suddenly you'll have problems. Slap a site up without heavy moderation and it will be filled with the most awful porn you can imagine.

It's not about just accepting the way things the way the are, it's avoiding becoming a casualty of the way things are.
