I live in a small city on the west coast of Sweden and we basically have only one bigger IT company which offers jobs which I find interesting from a engineering point of view.
Sadly they produce hard- and software which is used by China for deep package inspection which is one part of their great firewall.
I morally can't bring myself to apply for a job there. Therefor I had to fird a job in Gothenburg to where I have to commute for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening every day.
- uabstraction 9y agoGood. Ethical standards are worthless unless they are practiced. The tech industry needs a shit-ton more people like you.
- bscphil 9y agoThank you for standing up for moral principles. I applaud you.

- eat_veggies 9y agoSounds good but prison time for breaching NDA isn't worth it
- StudentStuff 9y agoIn what sane country would breaching a NDA with a private company or entity get you prison time?
- skissane 9y agoIANAL, but criminal laws around trade secrets (e.g. in the US, the Economic Espionage Act of 1996), computer system misuse (like the US CFAA), criminal copyright infringement, etc., can be used to effectively criminalise NDA violations. Breaking an NDA is not itself a crime but the act of breaking the NDA might violate criminal laws, and the existence of the NDA might even be used to establish certain elements of those criminal offences.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoFor various reasons I doubt that violating an NDA in Sweden with a non-governmental organization would every draw criminal prosecution.
