I agree with your position: working for Meta means selling out your moral values.
The argument I see for doing so is usually, "If I don't, someone else will, so I might as well be the one making money off it." I think people tell themselves that as a way to avoid thinking about the ethics of what they're doing. What they're actually saying is, "I value money more than upholding these moral principles"
But I disagree that everyone working there wants to operate ethically and I strongly disagree with the sentiment that the company's moral failings are "due to no fault of their own" because it enables people to be silently complicit. Operating ethically requires individuals to take action to uphold their values.
