so your argument is that you don't need to be ethical because there exist people that do worse things than you?

No, my argument is that building an employee retention tool is not the same from an ethical perspective as building a weapon system.

One is like a hammer, it was envisioned for and can be used for good, like building free houses for the poor. But it also makes a great bludgeon.

The other is like building a weapon that is used as a weapon.

And then there’s AdTech.. lol

I'm sure zuckerberg says the same thing to his kids
lol.. probably
