> Even when their tools are being used against human rights workers or journalist they have no qualms.

And why should they? If you don't agree with their moral compass, then don't invest or support them. By laws of nature, they will eventually die away if it is unsustainable. However, I'd wager it is highly sustainable hence their continued existence. This has happened throughout all of human history.

Your logic is terribly wrong. Part, or most, of what makes the use of these tools against human rights workers and journalists unsustainable is the outrage by us.

Try applying your same logic to people who murder journalists in order to maintain a deceptive narrative. Should we avoid having any qualms about that too?

So we should let bad things happen if someone can build a business out of it? This is, sadly, a not uncommon view around here; if the "free market" wills it, is it right.
