This list of suggestions matches my experience of what works too. Management doesn't really start to care about things until there is a large percentage of underlings who care. Raising the issue privately with calm but direct language is the best way to add yourself to the list of those concerned. At the end of the list is indirect non-compliance, which can be way more effective than expected. Suppose you are asked to add a bad feature to the Facebook news feed sorting algorithm by your manager. There are tons of ways of writing the feature "wrong" by "misunderstanding" what they are asking for. Tons of ways to slow down the progress of releasing the features. Tons of ways of prioritizing other projects over work on the feature for months. Sure, eventually a desire to make bad product decisions can overpower everything at a company, but it's worth throwing a bit of gravel into the gears to slow down the progression towards mediocrity and unethical behavior.
