I don't think I understand the viewpoint that an industry is evil because people involved in it do bad things.
If the output of the industry makes the world worse, then it makes sense to me to consider calling it an evil industry. Like, I have doubts about ad-tech, whether it benefits society.
But if on the other hand, it's just that an industry is lucrative and attracts evil people, I don't see that evil as accruing to the industry.
Mining stones and making pretty jewelry doesn't, that I can see, have any inherent component of injustice. I mean, there are diamonds mined in Canada; are they tainted somehow?
