It'll definitely be harder to make the right call when you already drank the cool-aid, knowingly or not. That's all the more reason to continuously think about the service/product and if that agrees with your conscience.
I can happily say I haven't found myself in the situation of working with unethical people yet, but I can imagine that it's not a joy! A bit of empathy goes a long way.
A related question: Have you worked on things that weren't unethical but of which you felt they weren't doing anyone any good either?
For example, I've worked on some action sites of which I could only think that they were a gigantic waste of money and resources. Money that partly went into my pockets though. And I give to charity, so that's about even... ;).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
