> I think these companies have been causing lots of ethical issues

Pro tip: you can safely assume that any of the stuff you read online in terms of ethics in those companies exists solely for people to feel "woke" and for you to click on, and is highly biased. Do not take what you read online as the common viewpoint about those companies.

Companies like Amazon, Facebook and Google has had way more positive impact on society that surpasses any negative things that they have done. The negative things should be ignored, but require proper contextualization and accuracy to really understand what the overall impact is.

Strongly disagree. Facebook in particular. I'm with you on Amazon, and I founded a search engine because of my ethical beef with Google and general dissatisfaction with their product, their data collection is unethical and their search leaves a lot to be desired particularly for developers.

Sure, but developers and tech savy people make up a very small percentage of the userbase. Most people don't care.

If you go on the metric of how many people use the products these companies provide versus the drawbacks of using those services, both Facbook and Google are very valuable.

Yet everyone here jumps of joy using stacks developed with Facebook money like React.
