This is why I think we should require ethics courses for Computer Science or Software Engineering degrees. It _is_ a complicated topic without many easy answers. I think that far too many software engineers don't even ask the questions to begin with. Most are complicit in a system (like Facebook) under the assumption that the ethics of the work is someone else's responsibility.
