You might consider looking into some resources on Intent vs Impact (eg, [0]).

IMNSHO, anyone working in tech has a responsibility to consider what their creations can be used for, in addition to what they intend them to be used for. There's just too much potential for scalability of nefarious behavior to do otherwise.
