How would you feel if you knew your work started being used by authoritarian regimes to oppress their citizens speech and ability to organize?
I may be speaking out of ignorance, but do you have an example of this occurring or are you speaking purely hypothetically?
- cwkoss 6y agoHypothetically. Facebook has the capability to be turned into a very evil tool cheaply: they essentially have a surveillance apparatus for a large amount of online activity and history of demonstrating willing to implement features that are user-hostile dark patterns or mislead users about their privacy. I would never want to work there because I don't trust leadership to not pivot into something more Orwellian if their social network has a myspace-style migration and collapse.
