After reading most of the comments, I think you tell them bluntly what you're thinking.

If they listen to you, maybe they'll quit. If you lose their friendship, you can make new ones who don't work for evil companies.

And if they keep doing evil things for a living but still want to be your friend, maybe you should be the one to end the friendship. I've done that a few times. It gets easier with practice.

This is what I meant by "Don't try to control your friends."

If you don't let your friends have radically different beliefs from your own, you're just making an echo chamber for yourself.
