Facebook built a monster that eats democracy and shits cash. Now Facebook has lost control of the monster they set loose on the world.

Governments are trying to control it. Sri Lanka recently disabled all Facebook properties at the ISP level after Facebook promised to clean up incitements to violence but then either wouldn't or couldn't.

Just because a thing is legal doesn't make it moral or ethical. And a big reason why bad things remain legal is because bad things tend to shit cash.

I suppose you're free to do anything that doesn't get you arrested. The rest of us try to live to a somewhat higher standard.

The engineers are definitely involved. This doesn't mean that we will stop creating things which can hurt people, but people who are involved in the pipeline need to be held responsible for supplying/maintaining to those with bad intentions.

So making guns is okay, supplying them randomly is illegal at most places because they just do harm.

Similarly there at these companies the engineers working to maintain the infra making it all possible.

Engineers need to understand where their work is getting put at.

Okay, so then let's go by the numerous fines they've had to pay for not following data and privacy regulations along with a looming antitrust case. Pretty sure that goes beyond just some commenters on HN.
