I don't see how this is a helpful way of looking at it. One engineer objects, and that gets handed to someone else while the manager prepares to fire said engineer. All engineers object, and the team gets disbanded with the project getting handed to someone else. It ultimately falls on all shoulders, especially leadership, and singling out engineers just because they make the commit is, I think, reductive and ignorant of the systemic forces driving people to part take in evil.

Those systemic forces, if real, don't force engineers to work at facebook. It's a choice they make every single day.

In fact, given FB's locations, it's almost inexcusable to work there since there are so many non-malignant choices of employer in these regions.

Fair point, but I stand by my statement that it is unhelpful to single out one party. It is the personal and collective responsibility of each person involved.
