Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is developing border surveillance technology
I'm always willing to take the unpopular side, as anyone who knows me knows.<p>With regards to Luckey's exit from Facebook, and the controversy of his politically-oriented actions:<p>Persecuting someone for choosing a political candidate or supporting a political group is the exact opposite of a democracy - no matter how "abominable" that group might seem. I am not a Trump supporter, but the way people have treated his supporters sickens me. Can we agree to disagree, rather than launch a witch hunt on anyone who does not share similar views? This has manifested itself everywhere, its not even choosing sides anymore (see: Kathy Griffin).<p>We are so afraid of free speech it is ridiculous. I say let people speak. If people want to speak and say potentially idiotic things, let them expose their views. They are free to speak, we are free to listen or ignore. We have a huge empathy problem where anyone that holds an opposing view is inhuman.<p>We are afraid that free speech will incite violence, but ironically a lot more violence has come from trying to suppress free speech.
