Nuts that the whole company is in on it. Missing such a huge story is something that rank and file engineers would notice. But nobody is saying anything.
Perhaps on the tiktok Blind?

Blind is the 4chan of tech, so in some way you're right. I guess some kind of people might find that "fine". Not me.
Perhaps you're one of those pro-Gestapo people? It's a popular thing nowadays.
Why would you think that engineers have stronger ethics than the population at large? Following this logically, some profession would have to have lower than average ethics or perhaps only the unemployed do?
I don't think that one's personal moral compass and one's profession have much correlation at all. Otherwise, moral philosophy professors would be near saints. Moreover the moral philosophers at Harvard would be more ethical than those at Ohio State.
> I used to think that most engineers had strong ethics
Civil engineers maybe. Software "engineers" were never known for their strong sense of ethics.
You need remarkably few engineers in the loop to actually pull a thing like this off (if it is/was true).
The Blind community is one of the most toxic communities out there. It made me sick even before the tech industry had its mask off moment 1+ year ago. Since then they’ve only amped up the racism and hate. I wouldn’t expect to find any serious discussion there.
