Hackers have nothing to do with politics.
Just as much as whistleblowing and exposing fraud, espionage, or illegal activities has nothing to do with journalism and transparency. Let alone politics.
In general, software has nothing to do with anything but software itself. Take encryption: it has nothing to do with privacy, which has nothing to do with with surveillance which has nothing to do with politics.
Also - Startups also have nothing to do with the economy; Automation and design has nothing to do with the industry.
And while we're at it: Science has nothing to do with politics. That's why politicians ignore climatologists, physicists and biologists.

- chicob 9y agoIt's like conventional currency vs cryptocurrency. If you couple the two, given enough market size for each, volatility couples as well. No need to go through the meanders of algorithms or blockchains. (Coincidently, cryptocurrencies are just another target for some hackers with deep consequences for any economy that trusts them.) Some things cannot be ignored, or seen as independent. They are stuck together since their conception.
