Thanks for this long and well-thought reply. > First, I believe in our basic mission to make the world more open and connected Real question: do you think the top management feels the same? In general, do you see a lot of cynicism in workers around you? > You want evil companies? How about... Not saying GOOG/FB were worse than others, but people and the MSM began to increasingly question their moral alignment in the past few years, which is why I'm asking.

> do you think the top management feels the same? Honestly I don't know. If I had to guess I'd say they probably do agree with the words but might have different ideas of what they mean. Should "open" mean literally anyone can see literally anything? Clearly not. I might put limits where they wouldn't. Maybe the converse is true sometimes. > do you see a lot of cynicism in workers around you? Nope. TBH that's mostly because they're heads-down solving technical problems. Or maybe they're focused on social problems other than the ones that apply to the company from an external perspective (e.g. diversity is a big one). To the extent that I see these company-direction issues discussed at all, I do see people trying sincerely to grapple with them and do the right things. Are those people just fooling me? Are there others who take a more cynical position? Don't know and can't know. I can just say what I see.
