I'm just disagreeing with the argument you put forth (and stating why) not saying that integrating a social component to a product is unethical. Please don't put words I clearly didn't say into my mouth. > The truth is that most of these organizations aren't exploiting customers. There's a voluntary exchange in good faith. That's your own very nebulous value judgement rather than a 'truth'. If companies do act unethically (sometimes through ignorance) and people do not always act in their best interests it pays to be somewhat skeptical of the new whizz-bang idea for extracting more money for similar products from people. Particularly if you are working on them!
