> You don't need to join a union to push back against unethical feature requests. If you push back against unethical feature requests: No union: you get fired Union: you still get fired

maybe, but the union could provide a lot of services to someone who loses their job this way (like income insurance and legal services) and could leverage collective power over companies that demonstrate a pattern of behavior.

Chrome and Firefox have deployed / are deploying local-network-access which prompts the user when apps try this.
Access to my router's web interface was not blocked (understandably) but this left me rather confused for a while.
