You say you're not trying to make excuses, but you literally are making excuses for him. As is he for himself. No matter how curious, it's just not acceptable to run a service to snoop on people. It's a serious ethical transgression, particularly considering you know the people. Now, if he'd implemented a mechanism to give users keys they could send him should they consent to him reading the log for moderation purposes, he would have been able to do the moderation job and not violate people's privacy. Or made structured data fields that users could consent to make public and also be used for data analysis purposes (like interests, societies, year, etc). But no. He just read their messages. He didn't even have a commercial incentive to analyse data, he just did it out of sheer voyeurism. |
