It’s a classic and a great paper - but it’s written for an obvious that couldn’t care less about morality or ethics. So it’s sad.

That's what my thought was as well. The people or groups that I think can benefit from reading this simply won't even if I presented it to them. They are no where near this type of content in their normal lives anyway, and I'm not interested in being an activist at all times.

What? This paper is written for cryptographers, and is now often required reading in cryptography courses.

I meant comp sci community.
And honestly — even the cryptography community. Convince me that the academic crypto community is not living in a vacuum echo chamber. How have they given you any impression that they care about about the moral character of their work?
