A) Ah yes, they should take great pride in developing software that will assist the world's most evil and dangerous country rewrite history, spread propaganda and help them imprison and murder citizens who dare to seek change.
B) Don't be ridiculous. They're going to be fined for violating people's privacy and engaging in evil behaviour. European companies won't get a free pass.
C) I was obviously referring to tech companies, whom in this case happen to be among the best paid in the world. I'd love for you to find a single other instance.
D) It's not a small topic among software engineers, especially the brightest ones.. you know, the kind of people Google wish to employ.
E) I obviously don't know how every engineer feel. I just know that a significant percentage of the software engineers I've known would never want to work for them. It's difficult to tell to which degree Facebooks downfall can be attributed to the employees they've lost and the people they've failed to attract.
F) I am doing something. With regard to privacy I use every opportunity to recommend everyone to use Signal, Firefox, Duckduckgo, NetGuard, Cookie Autodelete extensions, etc.
