When Ind.ie came out with another iteration of their Ethical Design Manifesto, and I have noticed a lack of discussion around topics of this nature. I thought the most practical question to ask on looking at a manifesto such as this would be:

What are some examples or ideas of ways that we can implement or adopt the Ethical Design Manifesto (you don't have to answer for the whole thing)?

UPDATE: It's been a while since I first asked this question around 5 years ago, but it is still worth finding out if anything new and noteworthy has been done in this space.

    It's a good question, and a topic I've not really heard about. My first impression is that UXD occupies a similar concept space. Putting users first (though a design ethicist might note our propensity to call users 'users' and not 'people') using user-centric design would seem to cover the top portion of the ethics pyramid quite well. I think a good place to start looking for implementation points, is to ask "In what ways is Ethical Design different from UXD?", or "Where does UXD fall short of Ethical Design?"

    I think the first and foremost thing that we lack is awareness on this topic. As quickly we can take this from awareness to a discourse and have enough people understanding and appreciating it, there is a good chance this will become a framework which people look up to when they talk to there clients or anyone they talk to about design.

    Some of this touches on the work that Tristan Harris is involved with, the Time Well Spent movement. An opportunity is rethinking 'engagement' not as a function of eyeball x time, but as 'time to completion' with respect to saving users time.
