There seems to be a significant ethical problem of dehumanization and predation in the tech community that must be analyzed and understood. Here are people living in a civilized world with rules and regulations and posture as civilized human beings who function in an ethical society. But at work they seem to be operating in neolitic wild lands engaging in increasingly invasive predatory behavior that systematically reduces the entirety of the human population going about their daily lives into objects of profit lacking agency, merely tools to be stalked and analyzed for revenue, to be prodded for value in any way possible. There is a dehumanization here with no respect of personal space, privacy and basic human dignity. This would not be as bad if there was explicit consent and self declared transparency of the all processes in play, and commitments to ethical frameworks of operation. It's the surreptitious, misleading and often deceptive communication and behavior that betrays their willful complicity that is troubling.
