I am not a person who normally moralizes to others, but I can say I have quit jobs where I found the work to be unethical or that company policies required me to bend my ethics. The engineers implement all of the "features" that these management types decide on. I understand there are infinite engineers so eventually the features will get implemented, but I do not blame the managers alone for tasks done by unethical engineers who do not consider the effect of their work in the long run.

Same here. Ultimately, the engineer is the one typing in the code and hitting submit. They are at the very least complicit and need to at least share responsibility.

This. If you only shoot the crowds when your overlord demands it, that does not make you innocent.

  Yes because implementing a pop-up is akin to murder.

    The moral issues are the same even when the gravity of the offense is different.

That's privilege talking. Not everyone is in a position to quit their jobs over the morality of implementing a pop-up.
