Why should engineers be jailed for management decisions?
Engineers are just told to build the mechanisms for passing data around. It's management that actually decides whether or not to collect data and what to do with it.

You make it seem so unknown or abstract for engineers today, claiming that Nazis knew the "scope" with no evidence, as if engineers knew the millions they were killing.
There is no "we didn't realize the scope" excuse to be made. The engineers at the spyware vendors know their employers hand over data.
The logic of punishing engineers comes from the false belief that engineers can all somehow synchronize their actions (through some kind of collective consciousness?) and coordinatedly disobey their supperiors in order to teach them a lesson.
The world doesn't work that way and you know it.
The logic of punishing prison guards comes from the false belief that soldiers can all somehow synchronize their actions (through some kind of collective consciousness?) and coordinatedly disobey their supperiors in order to teach them a lesson.
What exactly are you trying to say? Please use sentences and explanations instead of links and analogies.
Why not jail their families, too? That would give them even more incentive to fight back!
Decision makers should be the ones punished for making decisions. As simple as that.
