I would love to know the personal motivations and moral feelings of those who work on features like this. Are they naive about how these features will be used? Do they not care? Do they not have a personal sense of responsibility for contributing to the end of open, free computing? It's been a while since I took a Big Tech paycheck, but I don't remember being this willing to go build nightmare tech when I was getting one.
