I believe that almost every technology is net good.
The reason i believe that is i fundamentally believe almost all people are selfish semi rational and cooperative by default. And I think that positive behavioural inclination may have evolved as a solution to an environment that required game theory like itterated cooperation, where the emergent solution was like 90% cooperative actors and 10% exploititive actors.
Even if that were not true, this particular technology is a platform, a medium for other technologies, and so I suspect the distribution of its use and misuse will be nearly identical to all the other similar technologies, such as paper, phones, the internet, etc
