Great, thanks for explaining. So if I understand this correctly you’re saying I can lock my app and not share it at all and I can charge money for it but it’s unethical for me to use platforms that share user data with bad people. That’s very curious philosophy. I don’t have to share the fruits of my work with anyone but when I do I have to do it in a way that adheres to other people ethics. That would be like putting my cake in a place that’s under face recognition camera and saying it’s free. People would see delicious cake but wouldn’t be able to get it without showing their face to Palantir. They can just not get the cake if they are worried about privacy but they really want it so it’s on me to look for a different place for my cake. If I don’t move it I’m unethical.

Does this philosophy have a name? It would be interesting to read about ethics of sharing like this. The way I see it it’s my cake and I can eat it myself or share under any rules I see fit. I don’t have any ethical obligation to make it available to people in one way or another. Where does my obligation to share it in a privacy respecting manner come from? If it’s ethical to not share something how sharing it in a wrong way become unethical?
