- Barrin92 4y agoshe's literally been fired/quit her old job at google for protesting against surveillance programs and she's a longstanding advocate for whistleblower protection. two minutes on Wikipedia would have brought that up.
- the_third_wave 4y agoWikipedia is not a good source for anything even tangentially related to politically sensitive subjects which this clearly is. If you have to use it make sure to check the Talk and View history pages which tend to give some insight into the level of ideological control maintained by the page editors.
- janandonly 4y agoNot enough people know this.
- blueflow 4y agoI would hate being called an activist, because that puts me in the same bucket as some really obnoxious self-promoters...
- madeofpalk 4y agoI dislike being put in the same bucket as obnoxious developers, yet here we are. I play a lot of video games, built a pc for gaming, and despise being called a "gamer", yet some might consider than an accurate label.
- the_third_wave 4y agoNo, we're not. Some of us are activists but most people are conformists who care more about being accepted by their peers than they care about leading those peers towards some goal. A conformist may join the parade when this is required to be accepted but it does not matter much what the parade is for since the reason for joining it is not activism but conformism.
