I think there are sufficient examples below, but just to be perfectly clear: the "public good" is a nebulous concept, which can either mean objectively assessed public good (utilitarianism) or subjectively assessed public good (personal policy preferences). The latter is particularly likely in light of the "ethics aren't algorithmic" cop-out. Neither utilitarianism nor your own personal policy preferences should ever take precedence over your actual ethical obligations to your employers, your clients, and your users. If at any point they do, then you have breached an ethical duty and possibly committed fraud.
