Indeed. There's also a huge spectrum of ethical issues in computing, from black hat hacking to mundane issues that many may not even recognize as having an ethical dimension. For example, I turned down an offer from a major company (won't name here) to work on analytics for their advertising platform. It was a difficult decision and involved multiple factors, but part of it had to do with my discomfort regarding the ethical issues of search-engine advertising. I found it hard to garner support for my viewpoint when discussing my decision with others, and it was striking to see how many people consider search advertising to be relatively benign and not worth turning down a job over. I learned an important lesson about how much moral views/priorities can differ, even amongst people whose worldviews largely overlap.
