This post is 100% reflection. The press is merely trying to give all of us working in the CS fields the ethical observations we've all but ignored over the past decade, as this profession has grown.
- jsjohnst 9y agoI’d argue it should be more pointed towards the government using flimsy evidence to arrest people. It dances around that point without taking a hard stance that what the Turkish government is doing is essentially a human rights violation. It’s not the single line of code putting people in jail, it’s the government. While that line of code is significant, it’s not the only thing.
- thrillgore 9y agoI'll agree with you there that the Turkish Government deserves the majority of the blame. Even if the application wasn't as compromised, the Erdogan government would just go back to conventional means to prosecute, be it parallel construction, making up evidence, and so forth.
