Does doing something seriously evil necessarily imply secrecy?

I am thinking it might but I am not exactly sure why I think this.

Ae there examples of evil things (known to be evil at their time) done in a widely public way?

On the other hand, the converse is not true; this is far more straighforward: something secret is not necessarily evil

In any case I have decided that I have to be EXTRA SUPER cautious that I am not complicity engaging in evil behavior whenever someone asks me to keep something secret.

I don't think that secrecy is quite the same as privacy (not sure as to why), they are just very similar.




I think game/app developers getting children hooked on gambling through lootboxes is evil, and that's out in the open. Luckily governments are starting to crack down on it.


It's very similiar to running a casino
