It would be helpful if you explained a little more. What makes this article relevant to the LW community?
It seems self-evident to me that topics of mass surveillance, modern martyrs, and the exposing the lies of (for better or worse) the ruling class, would be of interest to those trying to act rationally.
But I am new here; and maybe there is more a burden of a specific thesis?
"The atomic bomb was the moral moment for physicists. Mass surveillance is the same moment for computer scientists, when they realize that the things they produce can be used to harm a tremendous number of people."
