>So it seems legit to me to ask whether those people questioned the technology they were developing, within their moral framework

I mean, it's a useless question of pedantry. It rarely changes the outcome.

I cannot say that I am a free speech absolutist, there are many people that write software that are, and in addition believe that software is speech. Which particular rules of this framework do you want to apply? I think greedy people that value money above all else are terrible, but they exist and create software regardless of your abohorance of doing so.

That would be assuming that the people who built the technology bringing deepfakes are such people, which I would question.

Maybe they just don't think about the consequences of their work. Maybe there is something to teach to engineers about ethics. I'm saying that because I feel like personally, I could have use some ethics class. Maybe it would have given me some keys when thinking about all that.
