This has bean a long time coming. This is a stark reminder that you should consider who the future stewards of whatever you are building might be.

We built a vast surveillance network under the guise of servings ads and making money, and lost track of how this power could be abused by an entity not aligned with our own values.

Don't lump me in that "we". I did no such thing. I know exactly how it could be abused and have spent 12 years intentionally not working for companies that perpetuate it.

Good for you

What are you doing to organize around that?

Or is it just “I decided to leave so my hands are clean” self adoration?

Passive resistance is still resistance.

It's the gateway to any sympathetic contingency.

Where’s the passive resistance?

This user is still on twitter and actively promoting their handle there

"We also as individuals [without billions] have fairly limited capacity to directly act against these things. I donate a fair bit to the EFF for instance and I've sent outreach to representatives multiple times over the years for specific bills and when its possible I vote against surveillance." - from a parallel thread I was commenting in.

I'm totally fine stopping at minimizing my culpability. I sleep just fine at night and don't really jump at purity tests like you seem to want. I'm not other people's savior and I don't want to be. If you want to put your energy into that, I support you.

Then don’t jump into a conversation as though you have some answer if all you’re doing is virtue signaling that you’re detached

I don't think you know how to read because I certainly didn't do that. But also go fuck yourself.

This is why no one cares about your causes btw because weird angry little dudes isn't a good look.
