Yeah, this sounds eerily similar to “I have a great secret app idea, all I need is a programmer.”
I mean, I’m all for helping with social issues, but the first rule of app/site development is that it’s probably already been done.
Nice try, FBI :)
How do you do, fellow hackers
I know it sounds "unlawful", but sometimes law does the wrong things for the wrong reason because it's made by the wrong people. When this happens, you are faced with two option: do the right thing by breaking the law, or do the wrong thing by following the law.
We don't have to find an esoteric example for this. Since you mentioned LGBT+ right, we have one right here.
Trump just moved forward rejecting transgender identity, essentially making being transgender illegal. With such example, one could argue that a law-abiding transphobe is right your alley.
Fuck law abiding activism, stonewall was a riot and the law will not make us silent.
I'm no hacktivist but I'm a pretty experienced back end dev/sre and an activist. I won't tell your secrets if you wanted to run your idea past someone or need advice.
Just share you idea. If all you need is some web development it cant really be that controversial.
Ahoy! Law abiding programmer here!
Play defense for the good guys.
