They should help to build decentralized no-border alternative to facebook and be paid for this. Facebook is insane and all its users will sponsor worlds biggest censorship. Next step, facebook will sell censorship rights to anyone.

Good for them. There's been a lot of talk about ethics for software engineers on this board lately, and I think this is a great demonstration of virtue in that arena. Hope this spreads far and wide, and encourages other engineers to do the same.
