Is there any kind of organization for engineers that supports these types of ethical issues? I recently resigned from a job because because of similar privacy concerns and I found it really hard to talk to anyone. My situation was a very clear violation of California law but everyone I talked to said the same thing, "if you blow the whistle, you'll never work again."
- Rafuino 8y agoThere are some professors/researchers at Stanford and other CS-heavy schools building curricula around ethical CS/engineering. Perhaps it could be worth reaching out to some of these professors since you're in California. I'm not aware of any sort of organization for this topic, but I imagine you could talk with researchers in a private capacity. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/business/computer-science-ethics-courses.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/business/computer-science... These are the Stanford profs mentioned in the article: https://politicalscience.stanford.edu/people/rob-reich https://politicalscience.stanford.edu/people/rob-reich https://cddrl.fsi.stanford.edu/people/jeremy_m_weinstein https://cddrl.fsi.stanford.edu/people/jeremy_m_weinstein
