      But if someone drives a tank across that bridge and uses it to do something awful, that's outside the discipline, right?

      bridges have to be designed to support considerably more weight than the design goal.

      and we can plan for those failures and engineer solutions or mitigations

      And trying to prevent all possible misuse could also squash the attempts at innovation.

      Innovation isn't sacred, and engineers are responsible for what they make, even if used with malfeasance.

      There are techniques in engineering used to assess and mitigate risk and constructively design prevention measures.

      This sounds good, but is vague. I learn best by example. Got pointers to software projects that do this well?

      Sure, look into "Software FMEA", alternatively look at Class 3 medical device software.

          E.g. An online forum being misused to abuse or mistreat people.

          An example I use is that last year, a woman's fitbit data led to her rape claim being dismissed & she got convicted

          but, it is possible to get a heart rate off a chicken breast with these devices. So, there is a problem.

          Foreseeing this might not lead to design changes, but might lead to better documentation, etc. This matters.

          Imagine a device could be used to testify against you. Wouldn't you want some trust that its data were correct?

          Sure. Though I'd hope the device's accuracy is something the attorney would have to prove.

          True story: GPS data cannot be used to get you out of a speeding ticket, but it can be used to link you to a crime.

          My understanding was that we're looking for ways to prevent non-obvious problems.

          Most medical device failures are non-obvious, but regardless it is a good starting point for discussion.

          Thanks! From quick look, FMEA seems focused on failure/bug prevention, not ethics. Is that right?

          So, FMEA is about calculating the effect of *the harm* and the probability of *the harm*. It's harm analysis.

          And medical device software has what I'd describe as "obvious" potential for causing harm.
