You need to finish that thought: the majority of people do actually go against the values typically espoused by the people who visit HN, and they too have strong feelings about the concept of professional ethics. In other words, they consider your values unethical, and you'd be outvoted in a professional society. Your resistance to the GCHQ (or NSA or FSB or Mossad -- whatever your local agency is) is thereby declared unethical. Due to lack of ethics, your membership in said professional society is suspended.
