- TeMPOraL 8y agoIt would be great if this (and the Iron Ring) was more popular worldwide. Also, imagine every software developer taking an oath with the phrase you just quoted. Adtech industry would disappear overnight.

- slavik81 8y agoI've taken a similar oath, but I don't think it really addresses polotics's concerns. Each of his mentioned topics are subjects which you could discuss and debate at length because reasonable people could disagree, especially when considering specific cases. The Obligation is not specific enough to deal with complex problems which may have multiple different points of view. The point of it is for you to think about the morality of your actions and to do what you think is right. But, polotics would presumably like to require you to do what he thinks is right.
