The business bros are to immoral to know that this is unethical as thier eyes are focused on making money. Not being ethical.
The ethical activists & philosophers like Richard Stallman & Jaron Lanier offer un-realistic solutions that normal people cannot adopt.
- I can't turn off JavaScript because 80% of my websites won't work,
- I can't ditch Apple because GNU wants me to use a 15 year old computer with completely "libre" software impractical for work
- I need a cellphone to communicate. I can move without a cellphone like RMS.
We need to start teaching people in technology not just "code" but also ethics/philosophy like they do in medicine & law.
Also we need people with better moral standards. I would really like it if someone like Snowden, RMS to Jaron built business products (not just non-profit gimmicks) that satisfied real consumer needs.
Otherwise we are doomed.
Otherwise, your best option is to boycott.

We invent novel dangerous things faster than we can deal with novel dangerous things.
