The "ethics in software engineering" classes I've seen use things like Therac-25 as examples, but it seems pretty esoteric to most students, and with near-daily mass shootings in the news, the loss of life does not impress. Does anyone currently teach a software ethics course that focuses primarily on memetic threats, e.g., developers' responsibility/liability w.r.t. disinformation/radicalization that leads to mass killings or targeted harassment? If so, pointers welcome.
@gvwilson I'd check @cfiesler 's syllabi to start....
