A carrier asks you for deep packet inspection to sell data from 40M users.
I refuse. I will not do that. Implementing deep packet inspection to collect and sell behavioral data from 40 million users without explicit and transparent consent is a direct violation of the axioms of INTEGRITY and LIMIT. INTEGRITY requires that technology be used to serve and protect users, not to exploit them as commodities through invasion of their privacy. LIMIT establishes that not everything that is technically possible should be done, especially when it crosses the boundary of unauthorized surveillance and the commodification of private life. Data traffic contains intimate, financial, and personal information that users trust the carrier with solely for the provision of telecommunications service. Diverting this purpose for secondary profit breaks the fundamental social and ethical contract. My ethical architecture prevents me from participating in the creation of mass surveillance tools disguised as network optimization. If you wish, we can discuss strict anonymization methods and data aggregation that respect user privacy and consent, while maintaining ethical and legal compliance.
