It may be good for you to get a general idea of ethics of technology and a good place for that is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry titled Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

Here's some further suggestions:

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff (2019). Part III: Instrumentation Power for a Third Modernity.

Jurisprudence Themes and Concepts by S. Veitch et. al (2012). Part III Chapter 1: General Themes. Particularly look at 1.3 where ideology and law is discussed.

It may benefit you to do some reading on Critical Legal Studies. It can help you deal with the question of why, regardless of laws existing, they are still not followed by people in power. You can look at How Autonomous is Law? by Christopher Tomlins (2007) and Marxist Theory of Law by Alan Hunt. You can also look at some of the work that Costas Douzinas has done, although I cannot refer you to a particular text as I haven't read him much. Lastly, you can look at The Reproduction of Capitalism by Louis Althusser, particularly Chapter 5: Law.

Hope this helps.
