I appreciate the responses, I know they're not simple questions that lend themselves to quick answers.
As a follow-up:
What would you say and do if I told you your websites currently employ some techniques that are considered hostile to users with some disabilities?
What would be your process in addressing that, or is it not a concern/priority to you?
If there are relatively technically simple changes that can be implemented, but they are not ones you consider aesthetically pleasing or enjoyable, would that affect your stance?
suggests Principle 5: Tolerance for Error is most applicable to Software Engineering
I would say they all apply in different ways, but it's clear you come from a backend architecture perspective, so I'm not surprised Universal Design isn't a concept you have run into previously. No hate, just interdisciplinary acknowledgement that some topics never get traction in other areas.
I purposely put out an OpenBSD honeypot to see which entities would try to compromise it! Results: Fair.

What am I saying is Corporate dominance is think-tanking and policy making. Data selection is inherently profit focused instead of Humanity Progression focused.
Yep, I'm on board with that. One of my personal areas of interest is how we shift that focus, hence my interest in your approach.

Mmm, as an enforcement system, yes, but I'm unsure they ever really were designed for that. I think they still have some very important things to contribute to ethical engineering. But that's another topic altogether too.
