“The fire fighter”

The company CATEapp develops a Smartphone privacy app – ‘the cheater’s app’. The owner believes that his product saves millions of people’s life and keeps everyone happy every day. On other hand, does it mean we permit cheating and we should protect it? Is it moral to provide such a product? When it comes to the morality issue, the company starts focusing on calling the product a privacy app rather than a cheating app?  But is it just an excuse for investors and owners to feel righteous to develop the product? Or, is it just for customers to fell less guilty when they purchasing the product by saying it are protecting my privacy? Anyways, does it make any different on the product itself by calling it a privacy app or a cheating app?

By paying $4.99 or $9.99 can prevent people from fight, will people buy the product? What more funny is that a police officer is the actually developer of the product. Is that it will help decrease crime rate by preventing fight? In some case it is true. As for the investors, is all the investment about making money? People holds different philosophy, it is not only about money. People should take responsibility to society. The action you take may have a strong impact on the way people thinking and the moral level of our society.  Such as the example the owner provide in the show. If people should jump into the carrot business even if you do not like carrot at all? But the different between the two cases is that getting into carrot business is not going to make any moral issue in our society, not like lurching a cheating app with an unspoken words- go and fell relieved to cheat, we got you!  In order to reposition the product, the company may change the product a little bit, not only change the name as a privacy app. What we cannot deny is that there is a market need for the product. And. Yes, it is a fire fighter, but can the fire fighter really extinguish the fire between people?
