You've already acknowledged that there are "moral hazards" working for the likes of Facebook.

The only rebuttal of that concept so far is "you can change it from within".

You could choose to believe that, and take the money.

The chances of you being able to make any change at all to how Facebook operates (from a "moral" point of view, disregarding technology) is similar to the chances that I will start shitting out golden eggs tomorrow.

If you choose the money, that's your choice to make, but don't kid yourself, you're choosing the money in spite of the "moral" issues, there is no realistic chance you can take the money and fix the "moral" issues.
