Me: Their literal head of policy (now ex, apparently) begged me to go easy on them at a data protection conference and asked “why do you hold us to a higher standard?… We’re just another silicon valley tech company”
Folks: That’s not what they are. Why do you think that’s what they are?

@aral Personally, when company X says our mission is to do "Y", and it bothers me when I see them doing stuff against their mission.
It's totally ok to say we are an enterprise and earning money is our first goal and "Y" is our secondary goal. But usually they try to convince you that "Y" is their elegant and noble goal.
I had to leave some of my previous jobs because of the dishonesty that I experienced from the inside.
