Ford knows that children get injured, even killed, in traffic accidents in Ford vehicles. Yet, knowing this, they still sell these vehicles and profit from them. Does this mean they are choosing profit over people?

  Are liquor stores immoral? Owners of liquor stores? Microbreweries? Vineyards? Something like half of the alcohol industry's revenue comes from people drinking at levels dangerous to their health.

    They have a known dangerous substance, so have to check ID, can only sell to people 21+, can't ship across state lines, can't advertise in many mediums, and are heavily regulated. Just like Facebook, right?

      Does regulation make selling liquor to an alcoholic any more moral?

        You seem to think Facebook is like UPS, passively delivering anonymous packages, and most of us think they're a tobacco company determined to push their product no matter the consequence. They aren't a common carrier, they are the platform that decides what rises and does not. And their priorities indicate they aren't moral.

  They definitely haven't placed any cap on the speed you can reach with cars, even though there are legal speed limits. They also are in the business of advertising horse power as a marketing argument.

  Yes, in their advertising.

Ford is definitely responsible for encouraging people to buy ever larger cars which are responsible for the increasing number of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. So yes they are choosing profit over people.
