Come on, there’s a difference between building a service or a tool that ends up getting used for problematic purposes (ISIS used lots of Toyotas, is Toyota evil?) and knowingly allow and even even enable problematic purposes (imagine if Toyota recognized ISIS as a rising power in the Middle East and started selling them trucks).
We can always replace words in other peoples’ statements to make them sound silly, but I’ll roll with it.
What if these roads provided, as part of the government’s offering, rest stops and gathering points exclusively for murderers? — Just like how a social network allows problematic groups people to gather and enable them.
What if certain schools accepted money from anyone and in exchange taught kids any curriculum, including murder? — Just how some services bombard people with outright lies, because special interests pay them to.
If your service has a massive reach and influence you can’t just say “nope, we don’t do politics”. It’s simply not honest.

- kortilla 7y agoToyota does know their trucks are being sold to ISIS. Yet don’t do something drastic like banning all truck sales to the Middle East.
