Granted, the EU is pushing back against some of this. But it's far from enough, it's only one continent, and like others mentioned, their solutions often have technical problems.
I'm still glad they're at least trying to do the right thing.
I've seen the patterns you mention, but yes, they're not coming from the same people. It's indicative of differing opinions, so the hive mind comparison is not a good fit (in this case :).
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoOn HN, hundreds of devs worked for FAANGS and this includes working on all the projects we also claim are immoral. If you start discussing this topic here, you will get a wall of people defending their position and a ton of downvotes, but the bottom line is, they are like the politicians or CEO they blame: if the money is good enough, morality is flexible. No amount of BS in their beautifully worded code of conduct will change that.
- scaryclam 2y agoThe EU isn't even a continent. It's a trade/political block, making up a part of a continent. And the part of the EU pushing back is generally just the European Parliament, not the whole organisation.
