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.
