It’s not necessarily unethical to do that if you believe you are uncovering or preventing the cover up of unethical behaviour. Ethics is more than following the rules. See whistleblower protections for where that sort of thing intersects with the law.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI just don’t see much reason to believe that she has the kind of evidence that would justify calling her a whistleblower. I could be wrong, and if she releases emails of Sundar being racist or something I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong, but it seems a lot more like she was just angry over the Gebru firing.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWell yeah, but at the same time, exfiltrating internal company data is still grounds for dismissal. It could be ethical and the Right Thing to Do, but you still crossed a boundary. She's lost her job; if she's lucky that's the end of it. She can probably sue to get her job back or a compensation depending on whether a judge or jury rules that leaking the data served a higher purpose, but it's debatable.
