Are software developers necessarily any more dangerous than anyone else with influence in large and uncaring companies?

I believe Facebook is particularly less responsible than other companies, they're probably way up there with Uber in terms of controversey to revenue + employees ratio.

The company I work in I believe is an example of a particularly responsible primarily tech one from the top down, with 10x the employees and 5x the revenue of Facebook. If you search Facebook controversies there is this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook and if you search controversies for this company than there is nothing substantial since WW2.

I do agree that it is easy to get locked into the code and forget about the real world, but I think most of these issues come from the almost charlatan nature of these two companies. It is nice to hear others complaining about that move fast and break things crap. FB got lucky with 1 product being the place to find people and hasn't done much worthwhile since, besides maybe React which is a pretty elegant MVC framework in technicality but I don't like how much they tout it as something revolutionary where it's just a less opinionated Angular /fbrant
