Ethical Issues

Are users' privacy expectations met by your software? Firebase's 'Auth' section allows us to enable the Email/password sign-in method. The "Create User" operation creates the credentials (uid, emailVerified, password) necessary for creating each unique UserRecord. Users should expect their data to be authenticating each unique user upon login.

Could the use of your software result in racial, gender, religious, or any other type of discrimination? How does your software try to mitigate this problem?

Can your software by abused by some users to cause harm to other users? or to the public at large? How do you mitigate it?

Firebase limits the number of new email/password and anonymous sign-ups that your application can have from the same IP address in a short period of time.
