- drewrv 10y agoI agree with you if you're also not taking any actions. However tech workers are building powerful tools that could be abused if the software or data got into the wrong hands. If you're building a tool that can be used as a Muslim registry (Facebook), and the president's stated goal is a Muslim registry, silence speaks volumes.
- flukus 10y agoBut where do you stop? Any database or even a text file could be used to create a Muslim registry. In a dating site religion is an important feature for users. If people don't want this data collected then they should not provide the data, it's that simple.
- greglindahl 10y agoAtheism is a religion insomuch as it's protected under the concept of freedom of religion, and puts you into a protected class. Collecting stamps or not, not so much.
