Providing a service that billions of people value is making the world worse? Wow

What next, go work for TV stations and sabotage them?

Go work for McDonalds and make it inneficient?

Sabotage manufacturers of combustion-cars?

Could you try to address the obvious point being made instead of trying to obfuscate? There's plenty of bad outcomes besides death. Not all fentanyl users die. If some fent wholesaler were to provide unrefutable evidence that Noone died from his fent you wouldn't go "Oh alright then, nothing wrong with what you're doing".

Facebook seems to have strange relationship with most Americans while the rest of the world is quite happy with it. Including both WhatsApp and Instagram.
