I'm convinced the companies considered as 'evil' now didn't think they would at first either. Something something unintended consequences.
I mean Reddit; bastion of free speech or platform for hate speech? (they cracked down on that over the years)
Dropbox; File synchronization and sharing platform or child porn exchange?
Airbnb; Great way to find an affordable place to stay and / or rent out unused room, or platform for dodgy landlords that scam people with pretty pictures?
Coinbase: Platform for libertarian wet dream crypto exchange, or platform for laundering your ill-gotten gains?
Just to name a few YC examples. Everything can be used for bad things and make the world a worse place, and they don't always do the right thing.
