thinking critically about Ethics How far should companies go to influence lives of the users through their services? In 2005, Google introduced a web-based Really Simple Syndication (RSS) reader, which permitted users to share their feeds with a selected group of friends. On December 14, 2007, Google permitted anyone in your Google contact book to see your "shared" list. People were very upset about the violation of privacy. There was no option to opt out of the "feature" all Google Reader users were opted in by default. Google changed both the rules, mid-game, and opted everyone into the change. What do you think about this? Does technology provided by the companies also allow them to influence people's choices in this way
