Towards Ethical Hacking

I think it's good, at a basic level, to refuse to do things that shock your morality, even just a little bit. I was once told our company was going to be pitching to do work for one of those companies that sneak charges onto your credit card and then claim that you asked for it. I said, "You'll be doing that project without me." It's a risk, that you might be considered to be not a team player, but I think it makes you feel better in the long run.

Nice article. Reminded me of Norbert Wieners "God & Golem", where he uses the term "gadget worshipers" for people thinking, that "everything that can be done (and makes money) should be done"

Though sometimes the decision may be difficult "One mans poison is another mans medicine" can become a problem. If I write a game many people may like it and it may help them to relax from work and just have a good time once in a while. Another person may become addicted to it.

You can't act always to Kants rule, that everything you do should be able to become a universal law, since some things may be of great help to many people and still destroy others...

This is not about what I thought it would be about, but it's still good.
