What about human rights? --- I believe that some values and principles should govern the development of technology, but as Scott mentions in the next HT, there is not yet consensus of which principles those are. However, I think one of the guiding factors must also be international human rights standards. Most people would agree that technology is made for the benefit of all humans, so its design should put people at the centre and ensure that it protects and promotes human rights by design, rather than restrict it.
