Kant would like a word with you about moral imperatives.

If you think something is unethical, then facilitating it for a profit is also unethical. If you don't think it's unethical, fine, but you don't get to have it both ways.

I don't think using facial recognition is inherently unethical. I think what you do with it may be unethical. That's why government regulations would be much more effective here.
