Design Ethics

Oliver Reichenstein on design ethics changing little:

Diffusion of responsibility makes it hard to address and fix problems in big organizations.

Design ethics will not change much. Designers don’t see the full picture. How should they even understand design ethics when there’s a user research department, an analytics group and, UX team each with a different focus?

Tech ethics won’t change much. Devs have their own sub-teams. How many think beyond their screens, to begin with…

Each and every department does its own thing. No one is evil. No one is responsible.
