I guess I'm glad you answered the question but damn what a terrible collection of thoughts. Definitely makes it clear why your product would be prone to this sort of abuse and why you don't seem to consider it a major problem, or reflecting on you at all. > yet alcohol is prevalent and almost expected at almost all social functions. Should we move back to prohibition? Can't think of any middle ground between "date rape as a social norm" and prohibition here? Any steps we might want to try on the way? > the good we provide is relevant and does absolve us Is that how anything else works? You consider moral responsibility merely a balance, and as long as you come out positive, your transgressions are forgiven? On that note, how about those "creeps" who went to jail? Did you check to make sure none of them had donated a kidney to an orphan or rescued a family from a burning building recently? It would absolve them, after all, right?

Of course there are middle grounds, and I think we are already doing these middle ground style actions (see my comment on this same thread). The implication by many of these comments is that we just plain old shouldn't exist, and that is what I am pushing back on. I am also not getting any pushback that this as an extreme outlier. If companies started reacting to every extreme outlier you can think of we would not have progress. I agree with you on your point about moral responsibility. I was more trying to make the point that in a simplistic sense, if our good outweighs the bad, it is good. It doesn't mean we shouldn't also try to minimize the bad, which we do.
