a)

Explanation of Solution

“Yes”, the decision to develop the free app for harvesting the individual data is ethical according to categorical imperative.

Reason:

Categorical imperative is that in all situations the complete requirements must be followed and it should be acceptable as an end in it.

  • According to categorical imperative, creating the free app is ethical in all situations because it contains the complete requirements which are acceptable.
  • It is a law which is unconditional for each and every agent.

b)

Explanation of Solution

“Yes”, the decision to develop the free app for harvesting the individual data is ethical according to utilitarian perspective.

Reason:

Utilitarianism is nothing but a moral theory that states that the greatest act is the one that increases utility.

  • According to utilitarian perspective, creating the free app is ethical as it reducing the illegal harvesting the individual data by improving the legal harvesting the individual data.
  • This is benefitting both developer and users.
  • In such cases, there is a risk of hampering the privacy of the users but it is considered as ethical as long as it is transparent.

c)

Explanation of Solution

Reaction of the user to harvest the data to free app:

The user reaction at the time of the harvest the data while exchange of free app comes under in two cases; they are as follows:

  • Some user may think it as optimist way, that is, user must share the data which is necessary to free app. Then only user can access the app with free of cost.
