> Let's imagine for a second that they are people trying to do the right thing, with years of history doing the best they can. How could a company like this ever think that opt-out is appropriate?

The problem for me was how a company like this couldn't see that this would happen and went along with it, I held Gitlab to a high standard and honestly I've lost a lot of trust with them. I'm thankful for the outrage, and whilst I will never condemn personal attacks, I feel discussing the matter on places like HN was appropriate.
