I completely agree, we should promote artisan civil rights violations and handmade destruction of civil liberties. Of the shelf, mass produced crap will only lead to the lowest common denominator and we will loose the soul of such endeavours.
- prottog 4y agoYou jest but arrive at precisely the point I want to make. When there are actual "artisans" who are violating civil rights with their "hands" (i.e. real police officers, judges, district attorneys), wrongdoers can be brought to justice, however unsatisfactory that process may be. But when a nameless corporation sells a faceless software product that violates civil rights, the diffusion of responsibility is much, much easier.
