If anything, this whole case underscores the fact that Engineering and Computer Science schools/colleges need to be teaching ethics as a core part of their curriculum.
It is appalling to my partner, a phd in bio research, that even as undergrads we didn't have at least a couple of courses covering what ethics was, how it informs, and how it applies to everything we do.
Worst of all, because of this lack of education, many big tech firms have done unethical experimentation on us unsuspecting users, simply because the developers never questioned if they should do it.
