Abstract
The social, political, and economic power of technology firms is hard to overstate, not least because they collect and control so much data about people from around the world. The positive and negative effects of this traffic in data are not distributed equitably. This paper argues that these firms have an ethical obligation to recruit, retain, and promote a diverse workforce, grounded in two separate but related reasons. First, the firms owe this to employees because their jobs are a desirable, scarce resource. Second, and more specific to technology firms, is that they will not be able to make more ethical decisions about how to handle this data and the consequent effects on broader society.
