> Of course you don't publicly release anything that is damaging to your employer. I think that is a really, really dangerous line of thinking. Sometimes, employers do bad things. Sometimes (perhaps often), there is not a satisfactory way to rectify those bad things within the company. Sometimes, what's good for the public outweighs what's good for your employer. It is absolutely reasonable to have a conscience and say "wait, this isn't something I can let slide." Now, did that happen here? I'm not sure. This individual made a judgment call, as you said. I don't know if I would have made the same call. But I simply don't feel that loyalty to one's employer is as important a value as privacy or safety. If that makes me unhireable in Silicon Valley, I guess I don't want to work in Silicon Valley.
