It gives me the impression that you find "the tech community" to be a cohesive collective that has the organization to switch gears in a given direction.

I wonder why you expect it to be like that.

In reality, "the tech community" is extremely diverse and not cohesive at all.

For one example, a large proportion of developers are barely making enough money to pay their most basic bills. They don't have enough mental space to even know what NSO is...

That is the problem, we are not cohesive enough in shaming these people. They are criminals, and criminals don't post openly on linkedin proud of their work.

I really dislike this phrasing "the X community" which seems to be so popular nowadays. Lumping together many millions of people worldwide who have a single thing in common–how did people end up using the word "community" to describe that?

Every time I see "the intelligence community" I just know I am reading propaganda

I’m in the Tech Community. I’m fine with the NSO group. (Which, btw, is owned by U.K. Novalpina Capital, and managed by a firm out of Luxembourg. But for some reason you all here aren’t obsessed with those countries.)

That right there is why I used the scare quotes. :)
