Those outcomes are likely on any A/B test. Just because you don't measure it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Except they induced the experiment. If your A/B test might negatively affect millions of people, and the only upside is your quarterly bonus, maybe it is immoral to be running those tests.

is any AB test ethical if done with unwilling partecipants?
