If developers are going to face criminal liability, they should IMHO also have legal ways to push back against certain implementations without risking their jobs, or at least have a way to leave a legal justification somewhere: "I'm doing this because I'm forced to but I disagree" which is then signed by management.
Until then, you're putting the weight of the law on the wrong side of the equation, since developers aren't the ones consciously making risky decisions.
