This is interesting. As a non-Google PM, whenever I face legal or compliance-related pushback on what I think are fair uses of data and reasonable risks, I think to myself, There is no way I’d be facing this constraint at <big company>! But perhaps that’s been a bad assumption.
- bombcar 5y agoIf the big company has a cash cow, legal does everything to protect the cow. If the big company is hurting, legal works to find ways to justify everything and anything.

For some data requests, Directors had to be involved and I had to justify to them to give me access for couple hours to some piece of data. I also worked for FB and it’s not as strict as Snap but similar.
