The practical of evil of working for a surveillance company like Google outweighs the hypothetical evil of working for a think tank like the Heritage foundation.
- zelon88 8y agoSo going to work to get paid so you can afford life is more evil than choosing to spend your fortune of time and money taking rights away from people that don't mean anything to you?
- threeseed 8y agoIt says in your profile you founded Gun.io which has Cisco as a client ? You don't think that's a little hypocritical given that they have likely been involved in far more surveillance than Google ever has.
- Mizza 8y agoI don't work for Cisco. Even then, Google's business model is surveillance, Cisco's is selling routers. I don't wake up every day to spy on people. If you do, you're a bad person in my book.
- drivingmenuts 8y agoBut you do work for a company far more entrenched in surveillance than Google. Cisco provides one of the base layers for a surveillance state, not just combing thru the data. Which is not to say Google has clean hands, just that you should consider Ccisco’s involvement as well.
- jonfw 8y agoIs there evidence that Cisco is intentionally creating backdoors? A backdoor by mistake is incompetent, not evil. Building censored search products and collecting the amount of consumer data that google does without clearly informing consumers is evil, and it's clearly intentional. Cisco may not be perfect, but I've yet to see evidence that it's blatantly evil
- drugme 8y agoI don't work for Cisco. If your client is Cisco -- then you work for Cisco (at least in part). It's as simple as that.
- jonfw 8y agoI would just like to point out that this commenter's resume has nothing to do with whether or not Google is evil.
