The issue is that there is not a 'universal' set of morals for tech people, especially as tech has started to become a more accessible profession. I'll agree, personally, that the ethics of working with FB may have issues, large ones at that (Rohingya comes to mind). But, and correct me if I am wrong, are you are advocating for a medical board/ the bar / ASME / professional engineer type of organization? Generally, those organizational types also have ethical issues too, but they tend to be a lot more nuanced and not as glaring.
