Do you think there are any current FB employees who haven't heard about the terrible things their employer does?
In the modern age, what's the statute of limitations on 'I didn't know my work was being used for evil!?'
My take is that in tech it's no longer acceptable to separate the work an employee does from the morals of their employer.
FB employees could work elsewhere doing not evil things. They look at the delta between whatever FB offers them and [insert name of non evil employer here] and shrug. "The evil is worth the extra money."

Does this apply to employees of tabacco companies, alcohol companies, sugar companies, supermarkets that give plastic bags, shops that sell clothes made by children or quasy slave labor, car manufacturers, ... Should everyone stop working? There is a solution for all that. The solution is democracy and good government. It helps to improve our lives without drastic measures, and without reading the people that instead of walking of stays in companies doing bad stuff. > the devil is worth the extra money A lot of people works for awful companies for minimum wage. It is the people at the top taking decisions the ones that take the share of the lion.
