honest question: do you think there was a moment in the history of facebook in which it was ethical, excluding the very beginning period?

The very beginning? Doesn't the famous Zuck quote put even that into the scummy period?
Well depends on what you define as the beginning period. I'd pinpoint the shift from 'ethical-ish' to 'unethical-ish' at about the time they changed feed from 'friends' to 'relevant for you' which is basically 'what our bidders want you to see'
