Sure. Model T introduced in 1908; seat belts mandatory for all passenger vehicles 1968. Social innovations will always kill off the bold and the slow. In general, those innovations that are judged to be a net negative are legislated against faster (lawn darts, MDMA, vaping) than those of mixed use (gasoline, VoIP). I think if you said "hey I have invented gasoline" in the social media environment of 2022 it would be a controlled substance within a week. But I see that as a legislation problem, not an innovation problem... and our legislation around the internet has been stupidly piecemeal for a stupidly long time.
