Measuring the Ethical Behavior of Technology
summary
Me2B Alliance builds a measurable ethical yardstick: a draft spec (v1.0 in ballot) plus a Me2B rules framework validated by ethnographic research and a year of early certification tests of websites and mobile apps. Tests use a -3 to +1 scoring scale and surface that virtually all digital products carry potential harms, with the parallel dataverse (third-party data flows) causing the worst surprises. Recommendations: private-by-default, easy opt-out, and strict supplier/API permission management.
