Not new: the simplest previous example is related to the Luddite movement in the early industrial revolution era
As the industrial revolution grew in its influence, the threat to jobs among textile workers evoked a response to the point that some workers rose up and destroyed factory equipment (the advancing technology that was displacing their labor).
Over time, however, the term {Luddite} has come to mean one opposed to
industrialisation, automation, computerisation or new technologies in
general. The Luddite movement began in Nottingham and culminated in
a region-wide rebellion that lasted from 1811 to 1816. Mill owners
took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed
with military force.
An agricultural variant of Luddism, centering on the breaking of threshing machines, occurred during the widespread Swing Riots of 1830 in southern and eastern England.
There is a decent summary of this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite, and numerous books have been published about this phenomenon. (When I was taking classes for a master's degree in management thirty years ago, this very issue and its relationship to unions and collective actions by labor were a mini course within the course I was taking on modern labor relations).
It is worth noting that by the late 19th century, as the rise of the labor movement coincided with the spread of the industrial revolution, the ability to form a social/political organization to oppose the problems of those in the laboring classes made possible a different form of reaction to the social problems that technology brought with it: the strike, and a variety of other labor action that takes us somewhat outside of the scope of your question.
