Facebook is evil.
Obviously, the "devil" is evil, but is his finger? Is his kneecap? Is his moment eating lunch?
We don't judge an entity as evil or not because all components are not evil, we judge it based on its broad activity.
Much of the devil's components might not know how evil what's in his head is.
Facebook created a social network, great, but it used it as a mass surveillance system, without user consent, to spy on some of the most sensitive parts of people's lives.
It spied on those who didn't even use the service.
It helped those who'd harm society target those most vulnerable with lies.
It offered discrimination as a service with audience targeting.
It abused its monopoly.
It threatened those that would reveal the truth with lawsuits.
It corrupted the security of financial and health services online.
It used it's audience for psychological experimentation and targeted their vulnerability to addiction.
Facebook is evil, but much of what it and many of its employees do day to day may seem like nothing worse than flexing a knee.
