In a very real sense cell phones and the way they are used to produce / distribute propaganda and misinformation are directly related to America bombing Iran.
But I don’t blame a device for that. Same as I don’t blame AI for AI. I blame evil megacorps and the corrupt politicians who let them do whatever they want.

As a blanket statement, probably not. But giving a child a phone is kinda insane and makes it worse.
“Dad, America is bombing Iran.”
“It’s because of your god damn phone, I tell ya.”
At least I keep my signal chats private Dad!

In the same way a pencil and paper are responsible for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yes.
