Hopefully we can have a public discussion about ethics and vendor responsibility once the dust settles. If the government was so negligent that we may get a new one, then perhaps the vendor should have been aware of it? Perhaps they shouldn't have suggested such a solution in the first place? Perhaps they should have outright refused? Perhaps they should have demanded that the government change the law before proceeding? In what country do you get a free pass from the law just because the customer says so?
These vendors are being paid big money, and unlike our elected government officials, they are expected to be knowledgeable - experts in their field.

- tofflos 9y agoI agree that would be the case if the vendor was providing infrastructure or platform as a service. But I don't think that's the case here.
