Though others will disagree, this kind of behavior, especially done so without informing the user in full candor, is morally wrong.&lt;p&gt;As I&amp;#x27;ve advocated in other commentary on this site: Engineers at Facebook have a moral obligation either reform from the inside or quit. This kind of surveillance apparatus should not be built, by either government or private entities.</text></comment>

This is why there is such a notion as &lt;i&gt;informed consent&lt;/i&gt;, because giving permission isn&amp;#x27;t always as simple as agreeing to something.</text></comment>
