Sure, there are in some very specific settings with long held professional norms that people agree to (e.g. doctors and lawyers). I don’t think this applies in this case, though you could try to create such a norm that people agree to.
I would like to see serious thought given to instituting such a norm. There’s a lot of complexities here, figuring out what is or isn’t kosher would be challenging, but it should be explored.
I largely agree with the underlying point here, but I don’t think its quite correct that something like this only applies in specific professions. For example, I think every major company is going to expect employees to be careful about revealing internal info, and there are norms that apply more broadly (trade secrets, insider trading etc.).
As far as I can tell though, those are all highly dissimilar to this scenario because they involve an existing widespread expectation of not using information in a certain way. Its not even clear to me in this case what information was used in what way that is allegedly bad.
