Slippery slopes don't justify anything. You might not care enough to make a difference, but many people do and your justification rings hollow to everyone that's potentially a victim. You wouldn't say this about nuclear proliferation, so why make a carveout for digital mercenary work? Because it's "harmless"?

I don't know what your goal is with this statement but it certainly doesn't make me feel any better. If you're this emotionally invested in the topic, it might be best for your own optics to not chime in.
