> There's nothing it "should" be, it's not your company

Well for a lot of us humans, ownership is not a stopper for conversations about ethics in technology.

The ethics argument is asinine. If you don’t like the rules, don’t use the product or start your own company. Just don’t be an insufferable whiner about it.
I think you may have meant “not asinine” or perhaps “I have a terrible attitude and should skip it.”

The ethical discussion is kind of the entire point. We all know what the law is.

> asinine

> insufferable whiner

I don't think this is a proportionate response to a convo about ethics in tech.

If you pull the “we need to have an ethics discussion” card about public data posted on a website you can quit anytime, you’re an insufferable whiner. Sorry not sorry.
Have a nice day.
