One definition of "anglo-" as a prefix is literally just a fancy (or shorter) way of saying "English-". The Chinese, Russian, and Brazilian states see exploits

One definition of "anglo-" as a prefix is literally just a fancy (or shorter) way of saying "English-".
The Chinese, Russian, and Brazilian states see exploits mainly as weapons. As does the US state....
The question is whether a hacker culture apart from state control exists, of hackers interested in ideas for their own sake/the challenge/the lulz. Without being in those scenes or even speaking those languages, I couldn't say. (But maybe you have knowledge?)
As in above parts of these comments, threads where people wonder if the corresponding cultures in the USA have been entirely "neutered" by state and corporate involvement, the question is not irrelevant to the US or European or English-speaking worlds either.
- mathverse 5y agoThat was the basis of my comment.That the hacker culture does not really exist in those countries like it used to (it still does?) in the West. The scene is motivated by self interest and is afraid to lose exploits/techniques that they can trade for $$$ and power.
