@adamgreenfield Unfortunately a lot of people are misinformed about this. And many people also assume there are more regulations and mechanisms to protect them than there is.

The task is huge, yes. The task is continual, yes. It can be exhausting at time, yes. I am tired as well at time. But we cannot give up!

We can take breaks, we can support each others, we can take smaller less demanding steps, but we cannot give up.

@Em0nM4stodon Oh, I know, I know. We’re not at liberty to desist from the work, etc. I get it. But nothing else I have ever done is quite as thankless. I look back on the “ethical guidelines for ubiquitous computing” I first started framing out toward the end of 2004, and think: how arrogant, how thoroughly naive can someone be as to try and wrap an industry in ethics?

@Em0nM4stodon And I feel like a whole new generation is learning what reward Cassandra earns, and then the redoubled pain of seeing the same people who’d hyped the damn thing all along belatedly Get Religion & have the mainstream media fall all over themselves to anoint them brave seers. The whole cycle is so grotesque.
