Not using principles in isolation #76

Closed rhiaro closed 8 months ago

rhiaro commented 2 years ago

The intro notes what to do if principles appear to be in tension with each other, but this is subtly different from not looking at any one principle in isolation. It does also say "that collectively support a web that is beneficial for society" but perhaps we can emphasise this to encourage considering the principles holistically rather than individually?

This also speaks to the problem of "weaponizing" a single principle against a particular technology, without considering how the other principles are also relevant.
