Also violations of EULA should be punished.

Most people don't really know or understand what facebook is doing. That is why it's unethical to hide under privacy policies that state how non-private everything is under the guise of "your privacy is our highest concern".

Personally I agree with you. Modern OS's actually police and inform users of just how overzealous these programs are, and give you an opportunity to reject the terms the program sets.

Programs in response, refuse to work if they can't get access to your data, even though that data has nothing to do with the service they provide.

All of this is wonderful.
