How do you manage employee morale and burnout, when you're building software that enables faking "being human" in order to fool people into clicking more?

Is it a matter of everyone being in "don't think about it" mode and focusing on how the technology "enables" something and how happy your customers are? Something something engagement.

Gross. I'm sure you're GDPR-compliant, yeah? And by GDPR-compliant, I don't just mean having a CYA paragraph in your privacy policy, but rather gathering informed consent from the "uploaded leads" about the processing of their personal data, and having THEM agree to the privacy policy, mmyea?

So, to reiterate my questions: How do you manage morale in a company that creates a not-only dubious/immoral but, in parts of the world, straight up illegal product?
