Although I feel the product / business was unethical, that reflects more on leadership than it necessarily does on the individual employee. It's never a good outcome when decent people lose their livelihood; I wish all involved luck on the road ahead.

quite a stretch to call them decent. They knew what the product was and what it was used for.

They knew it was a social media aggregation tool which collects publicly shared information. They also knew it was used by law enforcement, public safety, emergency management, first responders, ambulance authorities, search and rescue orgs, and other people who benefit from a tool which streamlines the deluge of openly and decidedly public info people post online during emergency, crisis, and potentially criminal incidents. Sound like decent folk to me..

Pretending employees weren't very aware of the precise use case is being deliberately obtuse. It was well known for feature planning, prioritization, and development.
