Some engineers are refusing work for certain employers because of unethical activities of those employers.

Developing nonfree software is mistreating the users, too. That's something to boycott.

The ACM has a new ethics code, which on some issues seems good.

I note that the issue of developing weapons or military systems is not raised. Neither is the injustice of nonfree software.

What it says about privacy is comparable in its philosophy to the EU's GDPR. That is a step forward but won't prevent oppressive mass surveillance.

What it says about patents is absurd — to "respect" patents in general would mean screwing yourself; your lawyers would tell you it is foolish.

What it says about copyrights is vicious — sharing is part of being a good member of society, so if a legal requirement forbids sharing of copies of published works, that requirement is devoid of moral authority.

Romanians protested against government corruption; thugs attacked peaceful protesters who had their hands up. (Is that why they are called "riot" thugs?)

450 people were injured.

The next day the people held an even bigger protest.

Dewayne Johnson has won his lawsuit against Bayer (formerly Monsanto), holding the company and specifically Roundup responsible for his cancer.

The evidence presented included Monsanto's secret attempts to corrupt science. That is an attack on truth, narrower in scope than what the bullshitter does, but no less evil.

If our government were not corrupted by large companies (of which Bayer is one), then Americans wouldn't need to sue anyone to get funds for their medical care because everyone would be covered. We wouldn't depend on lawsuits for harm to individuals to get pesticides properly regulated.

No other country is supporting Canada's rebuke to Salafi Arabia. They have all been corrupted by its money.

Organized international condemnation of tyranny has been broken.
