I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. Should the developers that work on specific input methods for fuscia be "reading the room" and instead spend their time switching to work on ad tech, where they can influence it? Google has 10's of thousands of engineers, wedging ad tech discussions into the output of every last one of them seems completely and utterly unrelated to the article.

I would humbly suggest that people working for companies that have become notorious for customer-unfriendly behavior and a complete disregard for privacy, reconsider whether that is something they wish to continue to contribute to, or not. Do they wish to contribute to the coffers of a company that will use every possible means available to erode privacy, to extract maximum value from open source without giving one iota back, and to enforce more and more corporate censorship on the open web. Advertising and a complete disregard for privacy is in every part of Google's DNA, you cannot possibly claim ignorance of it, simply because you are in a department not directly working on advertising. That is equivalent to covering your ears with your hands and going "la la la I can't hear you". That is why it gets brought up in every discussion about Google, because one bad apple really does spoil the entire bunch, their bad behavior in regards to privacy and a complete lack of customer support taints the entire organization, and everyone who works for Google has sold their respectability for a Silicon Valley paycheck. Everyone who works in tech needs to take a good long hard look in the mirror, and decide for themselves whether they're OK with everything their employer is doing, and if not, perhaps consider why they choose to still work there.
