I get the point you're making, and it's valid... but "Vladimir, Jinping, Jeong-Un, Narendra, etc" is a bit offensive. One's ethnic background, and even citizenship, does not define one's morality. Take a look at the list of names on http://neveragain.tech/ - it's not all Americans and Europeans.


I think you might have misunderstood me. Those leaders are not going to respect whatever ethics are set up and will ensure their own developers do what they are told irrespective of this effort. Calling out those leaders isn’t an affront to their citizens any more than calling out George W (or Obama or Trump) is an affront to Americans.


My apologies, I did indeed misunderstand - didn't realize it was a reference to the leaders specifically.
