Folks,
Tech is being accused of tearing our societies apart. We're told it's causing yelling over rational discourse, a feedback loop on both sides of the spectrum that amplify the feeling of being wronged on either end, and a shifting of the magnetic poles such that a side traditionally associated with freedom of speech is now associated with Puritanism, and vice versa on the other side. We're asking whether clickbait profit motives are causing this, whether it's the demise of the print media, and so forth.
This is a technical conversation about morality as it tries to answer some real world problems.
And we have the arrogance to flag the conversation? If we don't take it up, lawmakers surely will. It's already happening in the EU.
Please don't flag important conversations. It's not all about Node.js and the annoyance of whiteboard interviews, is it?
