Should we compare technology with or without the ideological context in which it exists? What if humankind got better results with an unethically (to some) produced program. Would it then be unethical to promote software or technology that would hinder our advancement, just because it doesn't promote certain ideologies that this person believes in? (This applies to any technology). Should the ideology of software be more valued than what the software itself does?
