In my country, software developers can't call themselves engineers unless they have an engineering degree.
>But some anarchistic belief in self-policing is totally unrealistic.
Engineers in my country are held to ethical standards with legal backing.

- robocat 5y agoHow is that even relevant? You are just changing the subject. I'm sure truely authoritarian societies have professional engineering societies with ethics and rules about who can call themselves what. How does your point relate to protection against state surveillance?
- bobsmooth 5y ago>But some anarchistic belief in self-policing is totally unrealistic. I'm telling you that Canada has this. There are 12 professional engineering organizations in Canada, all are self-governing, all have legal backing to enforce sanctions against engineers that act unethically. >truely authoritarian societies Canada has its issues but I wouldn't call it authoritarian.
