The ethical elements of this situation are: Responsibility, transparency, and respect. The situation does not involve any basic human goods that are being denied However this situation does involve basic human rights being threatened because they’re taking their own users’ data for their own benefits without much permission from the users themselves. This specific situation can cause harm or damage to an individual because facebook users can get upset therefore ruining the company by having no more trust in it. This situation can cause harm to multiple groups of individuals because many groups prefer to keep their information to themselves for very specific reasons such as things like safety. In this circumstance, some consideration for justice needs to go to the users of Facebook since they were unaware this was happening. This situation does also involve some consideration for rights because people rights were actually violated. 2. Facts (Known and Unknown): What I know about the topic prior to reading about it is that Facebook is a huge social media company that has millions of users online. Relevant facts about the matter is, Users of Facebook have had their information leaked to other companies for money or simply at will due to other companies This information included personal details about its users such as their addresses, banking information, political preferences ect. Numerous instances have occurred where Facebook has fallen for this typeof scandal and as a result has lost valuable such as shares in other companies, and even customers. Some additional Information that would be helpful to know is, How did any companies that were involved in some way with Facebook, facing this incident? What they did about their connections with Facebook. Can I learn more about the situation? To learn more about the situation, Two questions that I have about the topic that would be useful for making a decision are: 1. Did anyone go to jail for this incident? 2. Were any other companies involved with Facebook at the time of this incident? 3. Stakeholders: Who are the major stakeholders—which individuals or groups have something to lose or gain from the outcome of the situation? In the table below, identify the concerns and values associated with each. What is important to them?

Stakeholder: Concerns/Values Stakeholder One: Facebook Customers Identify the concerns associated with Stakeholder One: Personal information being leaked. Identify the values associated with Stakeholder One: Consent, and personal privacy. Their personal information is what is important to them. Stakeholder Two: Facebook Company Identify the concerns associated with Stakeholder Two: Losing customers and money. Identify the values associated with Stakeholder Two: Being a reliable company, and accountability. The company’s reputation is important to Facebook. Stakeholder Three: Companies involved with Facebook Identify the concerns associated with Stakeholder Two: Trusting Facebook as a business to work with. Identify the values associated with Stakeholder Two: Trusting other businesses such a Facebook, Their businesses are what’s important to them. 4. Options: Try to think of all your options and list them in the box. Make sure to write down at least five possibilities. The goal is to produce as many creative ideas as possible. Don’t worry about complications or drawbacks just yet. In the next step, you’ll narrow down your ideas. For now, just focus on generating an array of options. Consider the following questions: ● What different options are available? ● Have you identified creative options? ● ( https://www.score.org/news/4-types-business-partnerships-which-best-you delete after use) Option 1: Full Partnership: combine all the money together Option 2: Limited Partnership Option 3: Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Option 4: Limited Liability Limited Partnership (LLLP) Option 5 :No Partnership: Not working together Now, choose three of the most plausible courses of action to examine in more detail. In the table below, explain the following: ● What are the advantages/disadvantages of each option? ● Can the best alternative be implemented?

Option Description Advantages Disadvantages Option 1: Limited Liability Partnership The advantage from this option is that this partnership operates like a normal partnership except it limits the liability for each other's actions. Yes,the best alternative can be implemented to, limited liability limited partnership. A disadvantages of this option is that LLP’s are not permitted in all states. Option 2: Limited Liability Limited Partnership The advantage of this option is all partners involved have liability protection. Yes, the best alternative can be implemented to, no partnership. A disadvantage of this option is that it's not the best choice of partnership to choose from if your business works in multiple states. Option 3: No Partnership An advantage of this option is that anything happening to another business has no effect on your work. No, the best alternative cannot be implemented. The disadvantage of this option would be is, missing out on potential business opportunities with Facebook. 5. Decision: In the context of the options that you examined in the previous step, how do you think Gauze and Effect should proceed with the partnership? What is your recommendation for the ethical decision at hand? Explain the reason for your decision. In your rationale, relate your reasoning to an ethical concept or theory discussed in the competency readings.

Based on all of the research I’ve done on Faebook’s past incidents, Gauze and Effect should not proceed with a partnership involving Facebook. My recommendation for the ethical decision at hand is that Facebook should face the consequences of their mistakes and businesses wanting to work with Facebook should reconsider since their own customers cannot trust them. I believe Facebook’s business problems are a result of consequentialism. According to CommunicationScience in “ Consequentialism & Utilitarianism part 1 ” , consequentialism is when the outcome of what has been done decides whether or not your actions were good or bad”(CommuncationScience, 2017). As Facebook kept making morally wrong decisions, their consequences worsened in the form of losing customers, money, public outrage, and missed business opportunities from companies taking away their shares. Also based on their lack of honesty with their customers about what was being done with their information, from the start, they kept repeating the same big scandals that caused them to lose a lot of customers, money, and business connections. My reasoning for this decision is that Facebook has no right to exploit their user’s data because their user’s do not give consent to Facebook to do that. References: CommuncationScience. (2017).
