Last week I had to log into some systems using the software from companies convicted of criminal offences, which include monopolism, bribery, fraud, harassment, racism, sexism, digital trespass/computer misuse, amongst other things.
It nags my conscience me a little, because my use of these systems effectively lends my support to criminals, which I do not want to do.
Unfortunately my choices are curtailed because these criminal organisations have insinuated themselves into essential private and government services, and their actions as monopolists have killed alternatives.
This seems ethically wrong. I believe it's my right not to be forced to support people who in the eyes of society have been deemed to inflict objective and real harm upon others. So, I look forward to laws that uphold that right to choose ethically.
I wonder if anyone else has ethical issues with software they need to use?
