The role of a Scientist shouldn't be to promote some political cause or corporate interest. If that's what someone is doing, then they're more of a data artist or data activist, and creating a data  visualization is conceptually no different than creating a TV add or propaganda poster.

I'm just saying that, in response to the question posed by the forum: If it isn't science, then it shouldn't be called data science.
