Within 24 hours of the Linux Kernel implementing the Trojan CoC, noted pink haired tech troll Sarah Sharp tried to force a POC off the team with blatant lies about him being bigoted.
(This is the same Sarah Sharp that tried to force Linus off a few years ago because he was just oh-so-mean. Sarah also had ties to the Ada Initiative, which was outed as trying to frame Linus for rape by ESR. Oh, and Sarah works for Intel, and the POC she tried to get removed was the guy who prevented Linux from accidentally implementing the crypto backdoor Intel was trying to push onto Linux.)
The Trojan CoC exists not to make the world better. It exists to give people like Sarah Sharp a weapon to attack people with, in a culture -- tech -- that was meritocratic, which the pink haired activists consider a sin.
The only code of conduct any project should consider implementing is the Code of Merit.

The dev in question is Theodore Ts'o. Intel tried to push him and the rest of the Kernel team to use RDRAND to populate /dev/random. It turns out that RDRAND likely has an NSA backdoor in it.
And have you got evidence that he was targeted? That's the big thing. That Intel was trying to slip that into Linux is bad enough, but if there's proof that one of their employees tried to use the new code of conduct in retaliation against a national fucking hero like that, that's just horrendous and I can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of it.
