The problem with "not working for evil" is that everyone is evil.
If you chose to apply the same standard to the people around you, you'd have no friends or family. Because you have friends who work for minimum wage (enabling evil), you have family members who use all of the worst social networks and have all of the voice assistants on, you have a racist uncle, you have whatever. The specific examples aren't relevant, literally everyone else does _something_ you don't like.
I think it's better to try to control what precisely _you_ are doing because otherwise you'll just silo yourself into a corner until you can't do anything.
It's fine to avoid working for a company whose explicit purpose is to do something you don't believe in, it's another thing to exclude basically everything because some nonzero component of what is happening isn't to your liking.
Not that I practice what I preach, I'm out of work because I think video calls are evil. Bugger.
