[KingMachiavelli]

As I used the wrote the word 'unethical' I knew it was sort of the wrong choice. At best it is unclear and lacks substance. The logical argument explicitly phrased would have been:

> Plaid's behavior works against the social norms that the majority of the tech community supports; in this case it deviates from the norm of keeping login information private.

But actually after re-reading the article, everything seems perfectly fine. The number of participants was only 12 who were all related in some fashion to Plaid employees & everything was pretty well disclosed. So the updated logical argument would be:

> Plaid's actions were limited in scope such that it had little chance of undermining norms regarding account login security. The purpose behind their actions was to increase the interoperability of their software and other software which is seen as a legitimate and net-positive goal in the software community.
