Wrong. These people can't handwave away their portion of responsibility for the current situation. They chose to lend their skills to a company with a long, well-documented track record of actions harmful to society. If you can get hired by one of the FAANG companies you could also get hired by nearly any company.
maybe the users should shoulder some of that blame. I get working to pay the bills, but their users have no excuse.
Not necessarily. There's scores of people working for these companies that do content moderation, customer support and other jobs in this realm that are not quite as sought after and can't easily switch jobs.
