Besides refuting some maybe overly dramatic criticism, you also have nothing to hide. Why are you using a throwaway account?
- throwaway334488 7y agoCompany policy (literally almost any company) prohibits talking about the company publicly. Simply because any words can be misinterpreted by bad journalists looking for the next sensation.
- ahartmetz 7y agoSo Facebook has something to hide. And you are exercising civil disobedience, which means that you also have something to hide. This argument isn't just sophistry. Think about it.
- dang 7y agoIt was fine to ask a sincere question about a throwaway account, but please don't push the point. People shouldn't be hounded for sharing information about situations they know a lot about, such as their employers. We don't want to disincentivize people from showing up to add information, and if they feel a need to create a temporary account to do that with, that's fine. Routinely using throwaways is not fine, though. All this is in the site guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
- lazypenguin 7y agoSo ironic. Exercises his right to privacy/anonymity but questions those that lament the loss of theirs.
