Being extremely principled is exactly why many of these companies and/or their engineers might be tempted to put their thumb on the scales. After all, this election or this issue or this whatever is just so super important that it would be immoral not to take a stand...
- tikhonj 10y agoI mean, just think about how many people have been saying literally that for this election! If anything, the strongly principled are the ones I'd worry about the most.

- oh_sigh 10y agoMy point is that many of these systems have hundreds of eyes on them. If one person finds out, and doesn't like it, they can blow the whistle.
