Exonerating makers of malicious tools because they did it only for the 
irresistible appeal of money (as opposed to being inherently evil and 
wanted to screw activists) is ridiculous. They knew exactly what they 
were doing. Just following orders is not a valid defense, for some time now.

Eventually, it will come to those just following orders, programmers and 
engineers, enabling efficient population control, and doing it just for 
$100K+ salaries and stock options. It always does.
