While I totally agree with the idea that we, as engineers, are responsible for the things we build, I think your exposition here ("we have seen violent protests + a group making apps to organize protests => we should be careful") can be a bit misleading or suggest links between this group and the violent actions, which wouldn't be well grounded based on what we know so far.

Without assuming that was your intent, but to add some context: this group (tsunami democratic) is explicitly advocating for nonviolence. At least ~2.4M people voted (2017) for parties that oppose the sentence that lead up to the current protests. We are seeing ~1000 violent protesters, which should be fairly compared to the ~0.5M people who are steadily mobilised on pacific protests.

Given the context, I believe that the terrorism charges that some politicians and judges are attempting to attribute to groups like this (this is the reason the websites have been shut down in Spain) are far more dangerous and can backslash in more violence than any of the apps or websites some activists can possibly create.
