This is interesting, I think engineers often take the naive approach and stance when it comes to morals and ethics, like this comment here highlights.

Many engineers are not at all familiar with privacy and security laws. When there are hackathons for instance I always wonder about the amount of legal oversight in organizations.

Engineers want to build cool things. The Internet made it possible that anyone's small app can have worldwide reach and impact.

That impact however also has consequences and responsibilities that the builders can't hide from or transfer to someone else either.
