You know, we, working at Google, are people, right? We have moral and ethical standards just like everyone else. Many (but not all) of us also aren't locked in to Google and can find employment elsewhere easily but choose not to.
The following isn't about Google as such: Thing with a disgruntled criminal employee is that they don't usually come in bunches and don't collude because they can't easily identify each other. Which means they can't generally commit such acts and then also corrupt a whole 'nother department to cover it up.
- cyborgx7 7y agoTrusting your privacy on the moral and ethical compass of every individual at giant corporations is incredibly foolish. If this is a wide-spread belief at Google, it only further erodes my trust in the company.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y agoIt's not every employee, but rather something like any. As in: any employee with access to user data can check that their actions are logged correctly. This doesn't protect against government action, and not at Google leadership specifically targetting you. But it does prevent the (rather common) abuse of such access by regular employees.
- jacquesm 7y ago> We have moral and ethical standards just like everyone else. No, you don't. If that were true then you wouldn't be working at Google. Google has already passed the threshold were you can claim bonus points in the ethics department just for working there. That ship sailed long ago.
