Keira (She/Her)<p>Do not do what you are told.</p><p>If you are a public servant of any kind (including police and military) your moral obligation is to NOT follow an order which is illegal, wrong, or hateful.</p><p>In a lot of cases this isn't just a moral obligation, but a *legal one too. </p><p>ICE officers black bagging people are choosing to do it. </p><p>Police, the world over, injuring protestors and killing black people have chosen to do so. </p><p>Prison officers beating people, refusing them good etc, are choosing to do that. </p><p>And database administrators deleting information are choosing to do so. </p><p>None are forced. Don't let them off the hook. Don't let yourself off the hook. </p><p>Be brave. Be decent. Be responsible for your own actions. In short, be a grown up. </p><p>DO NOT DO what you are told.</p><p>*Laws are local, but there's a principal underpinning a lot of western public service laws that comes from the Nuremberg trials which found following orders is no defence for crimes against humanity. It's in the public service training in Australia that orders don't protect you from accountability for any crime, for definite.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukpol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DoNotObey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoNotObey</span></a></p>

unicorndeburgh<p>Elon Musk's employees are breaching government computer systems to seize data about us. A January 6th rioter who entered the capitol through a broken window was just put in charge of USAID.</p><p>The peaceful opposition to this is being organized on platforms like Mobilize, Discord, Facebook and Bluesky. Spreadsheets are being stored in the cloud. Messages are exchanged in email, text, Whatsapp and Signal.</p><p>If your job involves maintaining, logging and backing up systems like this, you get subpoenas for data. It seems highly likely that you'll get more of those, and also illegal, requests for data from your management or from government groups -- or nongovernment groups like DOGE.</p><p>Prepare now for how you'll respond to these requests. Obfuscate, delay, refuse, sabotage, quit?</p><p>Is there data that you're storing that isn't necessary to your business' purpose, that doesn't really need to be logged?
