Did a survey find that 74% of Silicon Valley developers would implement features that restrict human rights? Yes, one recent academic article reports that 74% of surveyed software developers said they would implement a pressured feature that could restrict human freedoms, for example a security function that might enable surveillance. However, the figure comes from a hypothetical question, not observed behavior, and it does not by itself prove that most developers would willingly violate human rights. The same paper connects developer pressures to an emerging "AI slop economy" of low quality content, but that linkage is interpretive and should be weighed against the study's methods and limits.

An eye‑opening survey: 74% of developers said they’d ship a feature that restricts rights if pressured. Let’s talk ethics, incentives, and how methods shape results. #AISlopEconomy #DeveloperEthics #HumanRights #SiliconValley #SurveyMethods

Was JuiceSSH a 'rug pull' or simply neglect? The community is divided. Some view the removal of features as malicious, while others see it as an unintentional abandonment. It's a stark reminder to vet app developers. #DeveloperEthics 6/6

Why the "no shame" factor? Contributors may pad resumes, seek recognition, or lack understanding of dev principles. GitHub's social incentives often amplify this, prioritizing quantity over quality. #DeveloperEthics 3/6
