I always wonder that with the fast past of innovation and the emphasis on being first to market to "win", so to speak, companies may not think of their responsibilities in society or if they even have any responsibilities to society. The movements in Libya and Egypt have noticeably demonstrated the immense impact and social good that services such as twitter or facebook can bring, yet the companies themselves are noticeably absent and are not proactive in promoting a commitment to free speech. Is there a role for corporate social responsibility in technology? Or is it possibly a hindrance to progress?
