There’s a genuine moral dilemma here isn’t there?
Imagine for a moment that we are debating what a company should do with a chalkboard in a public square. People keep writing things on it organizing racially motivated killings, etc. The company has implemented a technology which allows people to write things on it without anyone being able to see who posted what or when.
If the company does nothing it will surely lead to the government rightly removing access to the board, but perhaps some similar thing would go on in people's own private spaces anyway.
Seems like a lose lose problem to try to solve.
