google famously said "don't be evil". i've now repeatedly heard people from national intelligence agencies say, in public, "everything we do is lawful". one analytics company said that they make ethical decisions on who they won't work for but provide s/w for the above.
just who are they kidding, apart from themselves?
as i mentioned previously, someone at a recent event on ethics and privacy enhancing etchnologies said (under chatham house rule, so i can't attribute it)
"Data is the new fur", and at another meeting (same constraint)
"I can't see why mum's are proud of their kids going to work for Alpabet Soup, they wouldn't be like that if it was a tobacco company".
Either of these would do to get some sort of re-adjustment of the public enhagement such as this report from the RSA with all the above...
fur or baccy, choose your poison...
at one of the events, we ended up with one of the organisers saying "the problem here is capitalism. and patriarchy...."
oops
