I have promised to resign (and fully would have) when asked to implement something that would put customer security and privacy at risk, when such concerns were in their infancy; more than half a lifetime ago but in the dot com era when I had actual value. Our client, a very large organisation, became aware I had an ethical concern my own bosses didn’t share, listened to me and changed their policies to eliminate my concern. People who work in the Valley for fifty, a hundred times more than the poorest in their own country often do not seem to feel the same way anymore. This is not a question of abstract ethics, but a question of simple professional integrity. If the thing is bad and risks harms, you don’t do it. It’s part of why I work for myself now; it’s not difficult to spot people who do not have a strong sense of ethics and simply not work for them. I work in a couple of fields where there are many non-ethical players, and can do so with a clear conscience.
