Can ethics be crowdsourced?

Strategists behind crowdsourcing and crowdfunding efforts must understand and design around the potential of these to be exploitative. This was a key point speakers at the Crowdsourcing Week in Singapore stressed. Ethics, therefore, should be paramount, said Ross Dawson, an entrepreneur and one of the speakers. Shelley Kuipers noted, however, that crowdsourcing is “so transparent that you’re naturally held to higher standards…Crowdsourcing is about tapping into the hearts and minds of many for a common purpose. Be respectful of your crowd.”
