Yeah, researchers and big companies could have "properly tested and audited" it for a while before release, but then what? Is Google an expert on what is ethical to give to the public? No, they're clearly only worried about profits, reputation, brand image, so yeah preventing nazis from using your tools is a valid concern to Google et al., but not to us. Online nazis are already doing their nazi things, just not with their latest tool.
