The question is trust and freedom.
Trusting one thing and not trusting another is a double standard. Someone
said "freedom is these 4 things" and people conform to trust "a community"
and to hate "a company" because the person has said "this is ethical".
It may sound outrageous but to me this is sheer nonsense. If ethics and so on
should be discussed then a totally new social design is necessary. If one
pays taxes one supports creation of weapons and proprietary systems for
warfare. What ethics? We elect these people, they spy on us, create mass
destruction and we fight in a forum "which program is more ethical". The very
fact that clarifications like "Free as in speech, not as in beer" are
necessary is a proof that not only language but also the concepts on which
society is based are crooked.
So we must either remove the 'ethics' and 'freedom' and talk only about
technology, or we must question every single aspect of life down to the core.
Anything in between is a mess and can never be perfect (the word perfect
meaning: full, complete).
