Part 5/8:
Various nonprofit organizations have emerged to address and promote diversity, often funded through public and private grants. However, skeptics label these organizations as self-serving, driven more by the pursuit of funding than by a desire for tangible change. The Center for Democracy and Technology, cited in the original article, is one such group that advocates for updated best practices in the realm of digital communication, pushing to eliminate harmful language from coding.
The crux of the argument here lies in the effectiveness and the perceived sincerity of these advocacy groups, many of which are led by individuals who, according to critics, lack the practical tech experience necessary to influence meaningful change.
