> You don’t see Google-ers caveat their posts when commenting on an article about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. I don't know about comments on Cambridge Analytica or Facebook, but Googlers appear to disclose their employer quite frequently when it's relevant to their comments on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=1&dateRange=all&type=comment&query=%22disclosure:%20googler https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=1&date... Disclosure: Googler.

The first example is illustrative: “Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud,” in an article about Google Cloud. You don’t see Googlers adding caveats to posts about Facebook on the theory that both are in the same industry and share interests unrelated to the discussion at hand.
