I don't see the part where an ethical boundary was crossed. The examples given, such as when people realized that people working at Facebook write software to make users feel a certain way. The knowledge that made the experiment unethical, came from the experiment itself. They did not otherwise know what their users would feel. People found the story they wanted, but it doesn't change the facts. When I write software, I write it so that people can use it, just as the farmer grows food so people can eat it, and the doctor practices medicine so that people can live with the benefits. To me, just as to them, it is not my place to tell people what is right and what is wrong to do with what I make; nor do I have the facility. Timidity and caution are good for managing rare and known dangers, but practicing them too widely will lead humanity to starvation and its natural death with the rest of the unambitious matter in the universe, you can stay back and incinerate if you'd like, but you're not bringing me with you.
