A CEO of a Technology Company refused to provide the FBI with custom software to break into a customer’s wireless phone to retrieve data that may help in a criminal investigation.  The CEO argued that providing that software may weaken the security of all their phones. 

Evaluate the CEO’s action of refusing to provide custom software to the FBI using two workable ethical theories and three clauses from SE/ACM code of ethics.  State the high-level principle, the clause number and text in quotation marks and how it supports your answer. Make sure to use a table if you use utilitarianism.

Did the CEO do the right thing?
