Then you'd better organize your workplace so you can tell your colleagues what they can and can't talk about, or believe is an important aspect of their work.

The line between ethics in the technology industry, and societal issues is likely not as bright as you think.

You may wish that there wasn't overlap, but that doesn't make it the case. Figuring these things out is difficult, but if we want technology to represent the intentions of technologists (not executives and venture capitalists) then it is incumbent upon us!

To clarify I'm only talking about my personal strategy, everyone else can do as they see fit.
