        There’s no counterpoint in that article. The article says that things should change. At no point did I say I agree with the status quo.

          The word you used is “required” I’m pointing out that’s false. The only person who can require you to do something is you.

      First, this is just a US thing. But in the US it also used to be illegal to help slaves run away. Just because some judge says you have to do something doesn’t mean you should do it.

        You’re conflating my statement of “this is how you should expect companies to act” with “this is morally right” – which was literally the point of my original post. You’re either deliberately trolling or unable to engage in a respectful conversation. Have a day!

        Edit: Oh and CircleCI is a US company, so you once again tried to change the topic to fit your point. Please learn to converse in good faith. Cheers!
