i have to say, i'm impressed at how you broached this issue, this is a multi-faceted problem that honestly has no end in sight.
from my perspective, i come from a country where stats say 1 in 5 youths are engaged in online fraud, i usually have an issue telling people where i'm from due to them prolly having a bad experience or hearing about us. its a lot of bravery to expose yourself because people might reject you immediately despite your best intentions.
as it stands, a lot of hardworking people pay the price for the actions of a few, government in my opinion is the new religion, too many rules, too few sane leaders, imagine someone walking into an embassy and then he's butchered into pieces just because someone doesn't like how he talks. and NOTHING IS HAPPENING, or leaders that order killings of thousands of people over rumours and theories.
what am i leading to? all the ills of this world started on good intentions. people needed leaders (and still do) and today we have government. government used to mean people but now it means politicians, there are huge disconnects between rulers and the ruled, look at Boris Johnson for instance, one would think that his first course of action would be a way to get brexiters and non brexiters (both of which are still british) to come to some sort of agreement, however he seems to be more interested in meeting Trump, because the approval of the US Government(not the country, the government) is a higher piority. i won't even get started on my own country's government, im ashamed.
the internet in my opinion is the first place to recognize all my rights as a human being(Not a joke here), so its very sad to see government inteference blocking potential Torvalds and Jobs from reaching their peak, i'm a firm believer in open source for the same reasons.
i believe its the responsibility of every developer to resist political and government intrusion into programming and software engineering. if they (politicians) want it so bad they can start with hello world programs like we all did.
Ok, enough venting, i just had to unload this. hows the weather in Germany? i hear the heatwave is breaking records. im going to make some noodles and google chinese memes, hopefully i'll laugh at some....
Thank you for your insightful comment! I think you‘re absolutely right by saying that this is a pandora‘s box of political and humanitarian issues, and that we as developers can make an impact, even if it‘s „just“ by not participating in something that would violate a person‘s privacy!
It‘s really hot in Germany, but I‘m sure that in six months I will complain that it‘s too cold :D
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
