In the case of Zynga, hocking malware to your users is not good. They indeed had something to worry about.
- Glimjaur 17y agoI believe that one of the points that he were trying to make was that you have to be aware that even if you are "good", you as a public speaker might (and probably will) be taken out of context. It might happen in a 30 second Youtube clip on Techcrunch or in a published interview, either way it's still vital to try to be prepared when it happens.

Or the headlines over at Reddit for that matter. "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." Cardinal De Richelieu
- DougBTX 17y agoAs Glimjaur said, plus: from the quotes in the article, it sounds like the Zynga guys got rid of it once they found out how bad it was, but the quote of him finding and fixing the problem still gets used against him. So, doing good yourself doesn't cut it, you also have to avoid talking about anything bad that anyone you have a connection with did. I guess that is why No Comment is such a well used phrase.
