Some software, even the essential plumbing of the Internet on which we all depend, becomes an externality, and that makes it a problem.
What's an externality? It's a cost that you bear, or an advantage that you enjoy, that you haven't paid for. If a factory pollutes a river and the fishermen downstream find that their catch declines, that's an example of a negative externality affecting the fishermen.
