It is highly likely that many of the people involved in building them believe that what they are doing what is morally right.

The reality is that even the NSA controversy has huge grey areas and differing levels of support even among young, liberal engineers.

I'm not a supporter of codes of ethics, only of laws.

Exactly this is the problem! Similar to our little hn echo chamber these people are living in an echo chamber where they believe that what they are doing is the right thing to do.

Very, very difficult to disrupt that kind of thinking, especially when they have been subscribing to the "big government knows what is right for its little children" idea for too long.
