Aral Balkan@chrisg Exactly. The goal must be that someone would use what you make because it is functional, usable, and maybe even delightful. Not because of its ethics. If we don’t design for that, we’ve already lost.
To put it another way, our ethics must include making sure that the experiences people have when using what we make are good ones. It all comes down to respect: for human rights, effort, and experience.
