I don't understand your point. Are you saying that things like Linux and NTP servers can be used by an evil organization, therefore people who work on them are partly to blame for the resulting evil? If so, I disagree. There is a pretty clear line between working to improve the Linux kernel and working to get more children and teens to use Facebook.

No, the opposite, that many of the people working for evil organisations are not doing evil stuff, but instead maintaining kernel drivers or whatever, and they don't concern themselves with how exactly the money that pays their salary was generated.

He is talking about engineers employed by Facebook who are working on linux kernel.
