I have decided some time ago that I will not work for any company who is engaging in such practices. I will not feed the manipulation machine, to the best of my abilities. I don’t have to quit tech entirely but focus on parts where I can do good for people. I’m now in talks with a foundation who is building communication tools for social and public initiatives. I don’t know if the idea will work out in the end but there are alternatives worth pursuing. I really don’t understand the engineers and designers working at Facebook and similar companies. They cannot all be ignorant. There has to be some cultural angle of disdain for the regular user at play.
