I checked out the extended list of courses, but didn’t see any “Cloud Ethics and Consumer Privacy” courses. Without something like that, how could anyone graduate from this program and credibly claim they are qualified to work in the industry and handle user information? (hint: This is a trick question. I expect that the phrase “Big Data Ethics” is a kind of oxymoron, since the form of the industry that has emerged since 2001 seems to be based largely on exfiltrating individuals’ data to a space beyond their reach and control where it can be abused, neglected, or both.)

How is this a thing? I mean, this advert in this blog. Are you recruiting for an attempt to subvert the process from the inside? The boomers tried that, and it led to the yuppies, which led to neoliberalism.
Just don’t, okay?
