i don't agree at all. i think we face ethical dilemmas constantly. not obvious black/white choices.
We don't have those things in tech. We have "we could make life slightly more convenient if we violate user's consent"

"We could make rich people's lives easier at the expense of poor people" isn't an ethical dilemma no matter what.
-
granted. but you are establishing the absence of literal dilemmas by assertion.
-
Well I can't prove a negative. But I can speak from expertise, which you can accept or not at your leisure.
-
fair enough. i'm stuck depending on my own, it seems.
-
Show me an actual ethical dilemma that doesn't require omitting external context and operates within established ethics rules.
-
You could probably point to like, idk, a dozen or so easy to find Conflicts of financial Interest, which I'll grant...
-
But I think that's evidently not the scope the OP was asking about.
-
agreed. not talking about simple conflicts of interest.

what prevents those thing from occurring in tech?
-
Honestly, nothing, because tech has an ethics problem. By which I mean it regularly acts unethically.
-
"tech regularly acts" suggests a monolithic entity with agency
