alt Hacker News>annoyed with the massive number of engineers that are making it possible
Where you one that voted for laws that protected our privacy?
Where you one that upvoted comments in forums that said software engineers needed a standard ethics?
Where you one that downvoted every post saying we should have unions in software so we can protect ourselves as a group.
Or were you greedy like the rest of us saying, I don't want any of those things because I can make more money without it.
This is were the hunt for more money has taken us, and it only gets worse from here.

In other professions such unions inevitably end up building a chummy relationship with the government and going along with whatever it says, software engineering wouldn't be any different. If anything it'd be worse because the government could pressure the union into removing the license of engineers who make privacy-preserving software.
