Stallman's worldview is so paranoid and cynical. And maybe it's for good reason. Facebook and Apple have been doing evil things. But Facebook and Apple have paid dearly for their behavior, whether they've felt the repercussions yet or not. Their value on the Global Hacker Reputation Index has plummeted, and they will have to pay the piper sooner or later.
Question of the day: Is reputation among hackers enough to keep tech companies honest? I think for the smart companies the answer is Yes.
- borism 16y agoNO! there are no tech companies! there are advertising, media, luxury goods etc. companies. Tech is just what drives their business, as many other businesses, just slightly more noticeably.
- thunk 16y agoPshh, splitting hairs. You know what I mean. Next time I'll be sure to fully enumerate the infinite list.
