You are right in that a camera that a fascist regime utilizes to ethnically cleanse its population is more directly harmful at a per consumer level.
However, you may be in denial if you think buying a plane ticket for a plane that is built by a ~~defense~~ war corporation, and submitting to facial and other biometric security checks by arms of the same fascist regime that buys weapons of war from the plane manufacture is not participating is some greater evil.
The original comment above stands because it shows us how these cool, interesting, sometimes beautiful things can so easily be used for evil.
I am reminded of Miyazaki lovingly using airplanes in his films while also using his films to advocate for peace and stating that he could never really reconcile that airplanes are actually tools of war which his father helped build during world war 2 in Japan and which he attributes to the untimely death of his mother, yet he still loves them and wants to show them in his films.
But this is just one example of amazing technology being used for evil, I'm sure you could think of more.
