This is tough. There's a lot of very well paid jobs in the MIC, and they have you working on a lot of technologically exciting stuff. It's sadly very common for bright people, with nominally good politics, to work for some very dark entities. If you aren't locked in to some very clear principles, it can be very tempting to rationalize it. You probably can't stop this kid, but you should just ask honest questions, like: "Don't you think you'll feel bad developing tools that are going to be used 99% for bad shit?"
