Something tells me that "the poors" not having access to the problematic content/software isn't the the ethical dilemma that's being discussed.

That's like saying "I ran the analysis that determined that powder cocaine being expensive was causing a disparity in access, so I helped invent crack cocaine so that even minorities could experience cocaine addiction".
