What the fuck is wrong with you.


I think this comment is unnecessarily hostile. OP is not offering to build services; he's just asking. It's a valid question. Did you know ISIS had what amounts to an "HR department" ?

Oh boohoo. Calling out a completely immoral business idea isn’t hostile. It’s moral.


To recycle your phraseology, "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

There are plenty of things that are illegal but not immoral. Sounds like you'd have railed against a steampunk app that helped the Underground Railroad operate, or Jews evade German checkpoints in 1938.

Technology making end-runs around government laws is not, per se, wrong.


Making a software suite to help criminal enterprise (drug dealing, human trafficking, identify theft, etc) is nothing like building the kind of apps you are talking about. I’ve never seen such a long bow drawn on the Orange website before. This must be very embarrassing for you.

That’s fine, but it’s not what you seemed to be doing.


Must be hard to keep up in a discussion!
