Cybersecurity experts have urged corporations to create a program that allows people to rat out everyday citizens to their employers for what they consider offensive behavior online.
Cancel Culture and Big Tech are a match made in hell, as cybersecurity experts call to target the livelihood of internet users who get too edgy online. “The initiative, called Respect in Security, was launched on Tuesday by two cybersecurity experts. According to the founders, several companies have already signed up,” Reclaim The Net reported. “For a lot of people, it’s a no man’s land,” founder Lisa Forte and Red Goat Cyber Security employee told the BBC. “It can feel like the platforms do nothing, the police don’t do a lot, lawyers are expensive and the publicity legal action generates can be negative.” The BBC reported that co-founder and Trend Micro Vice President Rik Ferguson said “many companies had anti-bullying policies but they tended to focus on internal behaviour.” In what may be a reference to his Respect in Security program, he wrote a few weeks ago: “Inside my ‘Projects’ email folder resides a subfolder called ‘Kill Trolls’ and it is now only a couple of weeks away from becoming a real thing (sadly not with that name).”
They will gladly allow this to happen clapping their flippers and patting themselves on the back. But one day, it will come for them as they have a deer in headlights expression on their morally superior face.
But every job will be robotics so just keep the Ubi rolling.
Corporations are the new East German STASI for the Government and Social Media. Say the wrong thing, or even think something against their radical, far left. Marxist, Woke narrative and lose your livelihood. Nice, huh? Fascism is alive and well in America.
If people are dumb enough to use their real identities and post their real information online, then what do they expect will happen when hackers or "the woke mob" find their name, address, tele #, and place of work?
A simple solution is to stop using your real name/info online. Use a fake identity.
Ferguson’s politics are openly left wing. He tweeted in early July that “I left the UK because of #Brexit. He has also compared former President Donald Trump and Republicans to fascists, and said that terms like “Blacklist” or “Black Market” imply our culture is racist.
Trusting somebody like that to judge what is or isn’t offensive behavior may be a bad call.
Curiously for someone so against harassment, he posted an image of what appears to be a private residence, saying: “FBI Dir. James Comey's house today sports a Trump sign.”
This has already been happening for quite a while now, with people being named and shamed on social media for filmed incidents, or perceived offensive social media posts, and then subsequently fired from their jobs.
Best thing to do is to not post anything on your identifiable social media accounts that could be perceived to be offensive. Never use your real name in message forums. And be grateful that you have this forum to be able to state your political views and other controversial opinions without repercussions in your everyday lives.
But, of course, this is not another attack on freedom of expression and free speech; and, of course, this is not just one more piece of evidence that Big Brother is now here or quickly approaching.
Nothing to see here-- the only people who are against this are just conservatives who don't want to lose their right to express their racist and/or other kinds of bigotry, right?
Some people go way too far, and they do need to be forced to dial it back. That’s a fact.
No, that's an OPINION, and it's the sort of opinion which ultimately leads to genocide.
