The main repo seems to be here: https://bitbucket.org/cse-assemblyline/assemblyline/src Released under the MIT license with crown copyright. Looks like a plain ol' Flask application. I don't know what I was expecting from the government. Maybe more Microsoft and more Oracle, more "enterprise". And the git history goes back ten months with an initial commit of December 21, 2016. I'm actually surprised to learn that CS…

Our PM doesn't name and shame them on twitter, and they don't get involved in elections. Is that so weird?

Pretty weird. Most countries are extremely corrupt.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm surprised there isn't a separate copy of all the code in French, or at least the code comments

// En français, s'il vous plaît fonction commencer(état) { si (état !== nonDéfini) { laisser nouveauChaîne = `Bonjour, ${état}`; faire { console.journal(nouveauChaîne); piraterTousLesSystèmes(); } tandisQue (systèmesSontDébloqués()) } autre { merde(`partout`); } } // Commencer! commencer(`L'état du Brésil`); // Bon.

I bet its because advocates for exact language equality don't look at the code. They can see the url in the browser. But they look no deeper. Probably just as well as you demonstrate.
