It really depends on scale and proportions. In this case the exact boundary when something becomes recognized as evil doesn't really exist. The more efficient you will become on finding out weaknesses of other humans and using them, the more people will consider your actions to be evil. Displaying a picture of happy family drinking coke won't shock anybody, but suggesting discount on alcohol to alcoholic might come as wrong to many people.
> No one is forced to use FB as far as I know.
With facebook actively scraping phones for contacts, calls and messages, embedding widgets on third party sites and what-not. in a way we all really are forced to be facebook users.
- wufufufu 9y agoSo it depends on what society considers to be "weaknesses". I was just arguing with someone who thought that Google was evil for supporting LGBT while having massive cultural influence as a company.
- mbel 9y agoI would say: yep, pretty much. Generally abusing "weaknesses" is considered evil, and the likeliness that something becomes considered a "weakness" seem to depend on how much damage can be done by abusing this trait.

This is one of my biggest concerns. Facebook has shadow profiles on people that aren't users, including my kids. It's gross.
