Advertising or Bullying - Empathy and why we need privacy

Not Advertising - It is an abuse of technonology

In the 1970's apparently a group of really smart people stopped using people in human research, of course the Lucifer Effect comes to mind.  Some of us may be most familiar with the prisoner project at Stanford.  The Lucifer Effect and Prisoner Project are one in the same.

Interrupting or controlling lives of others isn't just creepy, its a form of bullying and highly unethical.

Situation #1 Ethical invasion of privacy on social media ads

Advertisements for Dating Services showing up on TV, on Facebook, Youtube, Google or anywhere just after a break up;

• Is it ethical to encourage a person to jump into another relationship within days? 
• Do we want people to jump from one relationship to another without reflecting on the situation? 

Encouraging a person to use tracking applications because two people have other relations, isn't a good reason to send ads about tracking a cheater.

Personally, I'm not thinking of a good reason for any company to take it upon themselves to encourage tracking applications.

Situation #2 Unethical invasion of privacy on social media ads

Ok, Facebook answer the following; 

• Do you think a person who just jumped from one relationship into another should show up on the former partners "suggested friends"
• Does the former partner need to have the new relationship thrown in her face?
• What if she had no idea that was the cause of the abrupt end to the friendship?  
• If that isn't enough to burn and sting, how about the fact that your former partners new girlfriend keeps showing up in the "do you know" these people list.   
• So, what can a girl do?  
• Avoid logging into Facebook for a few days.  
• Okay, you get through day 1 and half way through day 2 you are feeling a bit maroon rather than blue.  
• Suddenly, you scroll through your email and WTF!  
• An email from Facebook, asking if you know him, her and her brother. 

Sure, Facebook says we can block people.  No, you know all the details of my life with your algorithms "learn how to program empathy".
