I don't think that Google's My Activity Page is evil therefore your argument is irrelevant.

  I don’t think it’s appropriate to use HN to repeatedly defend your employer without disclosing that affiliation. If you’re going to do it, at least try to argue your point of view with some substance.

    Completely disagree as it just seems like we're going to waste a lot of time with disclaimers rather than having a real discussion (a la CA prop 65 warnings). How far does the "employer affiliation" responsibility go? If you leave a company, does it still apply? If you're in a company backed by YC does it apply? If you disagree with what your company is doing does it still apply? I don't go out of my way to acknowledge my employer affiliation but I don't go out of my way to hide it either, e.g. do a search or look for some of my more technical posts. I put the same amount of effort into my post as the parent did into establishing the evil of this page.
