"If I don't do this morally bad thing, someone else will." can be used to justify almost doing any morally bad thing. Seriously: where do you draw the line on this? And even still: since when is "I can't stop it" an excuse in the first place? This is just such a strange model of morality if we believe we are merely responsible for change rather than what we profit from.
- skulk 2y agoI'm not going to say where the line is, but I hope we can definitely agree that it lies somewhere between murdering innocents and implementing dark patterns in software. I'm baffled that you think it's reasonable to spread the blame equally on the dictator and implementor when it comes to the latter.
