We intend to create a repository of past ethics-related experiences within the computer security community (research, industry, government, and more).
Please fill out this form if you have had or know of any experiences that you are comfortable sharing (with attribution).
This form is part of a broader effort related to the paper
"Ethical Frameworks and Computer Security Trolley Problems" by Tadayoshi Kohno (University of Washington), Yasemin Acar (George Washington University). The paper and more information are available online at https://securityethics.cs.washington.edu/.
NOTE: You can choose to submit this form anonymously or give your name and email address. If you give your name and email address, we will attribute the information you provide to you.
NOTE: Only include in this form information that is okay to be public. For example, you might generalize or anonymize your scenario in some way.
NOTE: You may fill out this form multiple times, once for each experience that you wish to report.
NOTE: When sharing the results of this survey, we may not share all the answers we receive. E.g., if the survey response contains offensive language or appears to be spam, we will not share it. When submissions are not anonymous, we may also contact the submitter for additional information or to propose/request a revision to wording.
NOTE: After you submit the form, you should see a link that says "Edit your response". That should allow you to edit your response. If you save that link, you should be able to edit your response later (we have not extensively tested how long this link remains valid). Once we begin curating a response and preparing it for public sharing, we may miss any subsequent edits (any edits made within a few days of initial submission will likely not be missed).
