Well, I’ll tell you what the answer is not: ignoring these externalities, and assuming they are someone else’s problem

This is my least favorite part of product development, which is the part where people who like developing stuff just arbitrarily decide when to stop caring about what the product is used for, and then fighting the rest of the world on that design decision because it’s obstinately “simply their product and their choice.”

I don’t know anything more antisocial or lacking in responsibility than taking on the responsibility of being a leader, promoting your services or product to other people via advertising and marketing and then shirking all responsibility when people say your product is being used to harmi other people.

As long as you get paid and do only the things that ONLY you think are important, that’s that’s the kind of society we want to build, right?

I agree, these shovel makers need to be held accountable for their cavalier attitudes about how their products are used by murders to bury people, which is concealing evidence and that is a crime. As long as they get their fat shovel checks, it doesn't matter to them. Is this the society we want? Where murders are helped along the way by these fat cat shovel makers?
