It feels like we're gradually slipping into a dystopian nightmare world, predicted again and again by sci fi writers for decades, with no real strong opposition. There's the EFF, I guess? But advocacy groups don't seem particularly powerful or influential. I can't even hope for a "it'll get worse before it gets better" scenario. A world with normalized lack of privacy seems unlikely to suddenly care about it again. Perhaps we've been left behind by the cultural tide, and our values will die with us.
- dogleash 2y agoThe relevancy of advocacy groups is at an all time low because of just how little the professionally informed care these days. Tech was a "community" when the grifters slid in wanted something from the rest of us, and YOLO fuck you I got mine backstabbery when anyone suggested maybe not selling out our privacy quite so hard. And it infects the rest of us. When our friends and colleagues have jobs swinging pickaxes at our societal expectations and standards of privacy, why do we pretend they're morally neutral in the whole thing?
