I can't read the article, but my take on the headline is that monetizing deep fakes makes them even more terrifying, not less.
I don't know what they intended to convey - that anyone in tech==evil.
Imagine the headline that puts journalism through a similar purity test: "then the journalists monetized them". They'd have you banned on social media
But headlines are often very misleading, and that's all I'm going on here.
