I think this IS probably too aggressive and this move probably would not change anything but make such organization just more hostile towards Facebook and their products. I don’t see them as such a big deal, they are somewhat monitored (might be imperfect) aside from the fact that every intelligence corps (including US) is also attacking civilians, tourists and more - even if not with “bad purpose”, sometimes it might even save lives (if they prevent a terrorist attack or so, using that technology). So why not let other countries have this ability? Obviously if you give someone a weapon it might turn against you but how can you be so sure it won’t help defend the lives of their citizens? Everyone is using this “weapon” the same way, the only question is on what side you’re on. In my opinion, this is not a very destructive weapon that actually risks people’s lives so it’s fair to share, it will also get there one way or another.
