On promet prévention et miracles, mais l’histoire montre que la finalité peut glisser: profilage, surveillance, critères d’accès à des droits… “Bienvenue à GATTACA” n’est pas une prophétie, c’est un rappel: sans garde‑fous solides, la biologie devient un passeport social.

Séquencer (presque) toute une population et relier l’ADN aux dossiers médicaux, c’est une puissance inédite. Même “anonymisé”, l’ADN reste identifiable, durable et réutilisable. Le vrai risque n’est pas la techno, c’est la gouvernance: qui décide demain de ce qu’on fait de ton code génétique ?

Ask for due diligence. Sponsors should vet governance, codes of conduct, and leadership behavior—not only performance benchmarks. If the mission is a healthier open Internet, align funding with communities that build it for everyone.

Reputation is part of risk. Companies claim to care about safety and trust while underwriting leaders with divisive records. That contradiction erodes credibility—and community health.

Tech choices are cultural choices. A browser isn’t just code; it’s how standards and communities get interpreted. A dev distro isn’t just packages; it’s who gets platformed along with it.

Apolitical” policies often mean “no talk of inclusion.” In practice, that chills contributions from marginalized folks and signals whose comfort is prioritized. The open web thrives on plural voices, not gatekeeping.

Sponsorships aren’t neutral. When big infra brands fund projects led by people with documented, exclusionary or far‑right‑adjacent rhetoric, it shapes who feels welcome in the developer ecosystem—and who doesn’t.

Ladybird: pushed “apolitical” rules that chilled inclusivity; later posts from its founder set off far‑right alarms.

Omarchy: slick distro, but DHH’s politics are the baggage. Sponsors can’t pretend neutrality when their picks normalize this stuff.

That would be a cool subject to dig in for journalist, except if you fear having your "aides à la presse" cut ✂️.

Because we could say it's based on legitimate interest, there will be concerts right ? Except, they never advertise any other concert nor festival on their newsletter.

Same argument for culture or historical moment in the country. They never did that. So what's the deal?

C'est juste que Apple utilise cela comme moyen de pression en faisant croire à ses utilisateurs que c'est de la faute de l'Europe. (Ou parce que les pixel buds avec cette fonction existaient bien avant le DMA?)
