People are also dying because of google (you can search for informations that expose agents p), they die because of apple (iMessage is also used to coordinate killings), they die because of Tesla (cars kill), they die because of Coca-Cola (bad nutrition kills more than tech), they die because of Boeing (huge military contractor), they die because of us government (all the wars fought by the government), they die because of Starbucks (according to California coffee is a killer)

Everything has bad consequences, each technology. Just saying that someone dies as a consequence of a company product isn’t enough to disqualify it. If you want to apply that logic we need to shutdown basically all worlds economies.
