The malicious compliance alternative: "blacklist" -> "bandstoplist" "whitelist" -> "bandpasslist"
why would this be malicious compliance?
reply
It complies with the letter of their requirement (don't use racist terms, and bandpass/bandstop aren't racist), but in a way that is worse than what they wanted. And if they say "nobody knows those terms," you can say "a lot programmers still haven't heard of allowlist/blocklist, so it's a wash either way."
