The real problem is "hurting society" is a bullshit charge which lets you call yourself a hero for making Socrates poison himself.

The sophistry is all brain-hacking bullshit best dealt with like a poisoned drink - thrown in the face of the server.

If that's true, then so are those that invest in big tech companies.

Absolutely. The material interests of the shareholders ultimately drive the decisions that these companies make. If you invest in them, you are complicit.
