Absolutely. If it can't be done responsibly and ethically, perhaps it should not be done.

what % of people do you think would be willing to stop using search engines because they are unethical?
To me, their response didn't seem to indicate that it should be directly decided by people. This is a consumer protection matter, and to stretch an analogy, like a list of ingredients on a consumable. Here we have these black boxes, and no list of ingredients, yet they drive and shape our world. A Person can't EVEN directly decide if they wanted to.
