Why should privacy be the objective of the scientist?

  I'm not faulting the the scientists here, they aren't the first to do this. I remember seeing similar from a US university research a few years back. This reminded me about the latest wifi-6E(?) that's going to make this easier for ISPs to obtain similar tracking capabilities. I for one always own my wifi/modem stack rather then renting the one from the ISP

  I mean, why should any scientist think about ethics? [INSERT $GOLDBLUM_QUOTE HERE] Also, when you start to invent new technology, you're not just a dispassionate objective scientist pushing the boundaries of knowledge. You're an engineer whose products are also engineering society.

  Because observers become part of science experiments.
