As the saying, attributed to Burke (but whose precise origins are unknown) goes:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good [men and women] do nothing."
Both Meyer and Stamos made their choices, on this issue.
- chopin 10y agoHow did Stamos' action help the cause? He did better than Meyer but I fail to see how his move bettered the world. It helped him not longer being part of something nefarious. But he left all users he had responsibility for in the unclear.
- kafkaesq 10y agoAt least he managed to say, if only privately, "I'm not going to be a party to this" (most likely leaving a significant pile of cash and/or equity on the table in doing so). Which is way more than many CIOs/CSOs do in similar situations. Of course you or I might like to believe we would have taken a more overtly defiant stand (by going public for example). But then again, we weren't there, in his shoes - now were we?
