    A lot of computer people are also fucking weirdo outcasts who have zero interest in helping the FBI put the boot on people’s necks.

      I dunno, Microsoft still seems to have no problem finding people to implement spyware and tracking on their base OS not to mention DRM. I think the only real barrier for governmental job offerrings is no one except the really passionate would bother going through the clearance conditions. Which is fair I suppose.

      Yeah. I would expect finding talent to get harder and harder as governments and corporations double triple quadruple down on unethical practices. Governments are the most obvious ones, but big corps like Microsoft or major ISPs aren’t far behind, especially since the telemetry / data collection ultimately benefits law enforcement.

      But of course, it will always be blamed on something else, like weed.
