What is the ruling regarding my work as an engineering manager in a foreign company that produces a technical system to combat harmful content (such as pornographic content, insults and defamation, fraud, and content that violates platform rules), even though some clients use this product on platforms that may include mixed content or are used for prohibited purposes (such as dating or impermissible matchmaking applications), given my knowledge that the product is general and may require improvements for specific clients, and that I may communicate directly with them?
There is no harm in developing a technical product that helps combat harmful content. The intermingling of the good with the bad on some sites that might use it does not affect this, because the program is not specifically for the forbidden, nor does it involve direct or intended assistance to it.
