Are technology companies immune to all social responsibility? It sounds like you think they might be. But can we not think of a scenario where that would not be true?

For example, if Snapchat makes a filter that detects blood and "counts kills" as you stab people, are they not responsible for any actions that result? It sounds like you might claim "no", because "I could kill someone on my own if I wanted".

Not to completely derail your point, but I think if Snapchat added a "confirmed kills" counter it would be a net social positive and would make catching murderers really easy
I think it's downright harmful and abhorrent that they haven't yet. Why doesn't snapchat want to help stop crime??
