How is it fuzzier? If someone stores illegal content on Google Drive should Google be prosecuted? Of course not. And in this case we're not even talking about something that's illegal.
- shadowgovt 6y agoIt's not whether they should be prosecuted, it's about what their ethical / moral stance is on the topic. Some people think cloud services should be like fire or water; available to everyone agnostic of what they choose to do with it. But that's a moral stance, and one reasonable people can have disagreement over. Google employees, for example, pushed company leadership on weather they were comfortable with the notion the company would provide machine learning services to the US military for target identification purposes in drone video. Software as a service gives technology companies incredible power, and it is possible that in a world of potential existential risk to humanity, it is power they should leverage. Possible. I have no idea if it is a good idea.
