FAANG being even in the running is downright bizzare in my opinion given the countless companies which are worse and don't receive such condemnation. Cynically I suspect a propaganda push by rivals, more innocently a stupid human anti-novelty bias where a self driving car hitting someone at a dangerously designed road crossing at a blind intersection with a high speed limit worries more than at a stop sign scares people more than a drunk driver running over a bus stop full of kids. Some of it might be because of information compression of things that are less relevant or taken for granted like "Don't work for the Mob, Blackwater, or the NSA." are essentially a given."
