Surely submitting technical papers for critical analysis before publication to ensure that problematic views are not given a platform or legitimized by institutions, and so that affected and marginalized communities are given more prominent equal representation, will help correct systemic injustices.
But sarcasm aside, a variation of the exact same quip could be made for a privacy and other assessments. I would argue that it is on other disciplines to keep up with what's going on in comp.sci to determine the impact of new findings on their fields, and for all STEM fields to be very careful not to invent administrative policing roles that can grant unmerited standing to arbitrary political interests.
If you are in privacy, you need to be on this. If you are in economics, political science, or equity fields, you would also need to be on this. Technology makes everyone necessarily more interdisciplinary, and instead of filtering out, they should be researching new developments that affect them.
