Technically, sure.
But, usually a company of this size/scale puts in place restrictions so that accessing privileged abilities like this is extremely difficult and requires authorizations / clearances / permissions from users, etc.
Generally big / public tech company employees are not even allowed to LOOK at PII or the data of a specific user name etc. You run all tests on staging / fake populated DBs only, etc.

- adamrezich 10y agoReddit is one of the largest and most influential community websites on the Internet (#25-29ish).
- grzm 10y agoOne of the largest, sure. How are you measuring "most influential"?

- eridius 10y agoLarge in terms of company size, not in terms of internet reach.
- cargo8 10y agoCEOs don't get to break the rules just because. These kinds of restrictions exist to protect consumers (and their data) and the business legally from liability, etc.
- Senji 10y agoYes, yes they do.
