Be fair and take action not to discriminate 5. Respect the work required to produce new ideas, inventions, creative works, and computing artifacts. 6. Respect privacy. 7. Honor confidentiality. For the scenario presented below, identify which portions of the above given ACM Code of Ethics is potentially being violated and which of the workable ethical theories from Quinn apply. Scenario: The owner wants you to use techniques to keep the children playing longer, so that they can collect data about gender, age and community, so they can later share the data with industry partners who sell tutoring services. Please write your answer in no more than 4 lines.
