>The company is facing real scrutiny right now. It takes resolve to work hard through it, but I know my work does good for people who rely on us to be good stew

  Maybe it is a bit tacky to reply to my own post, but it was a short quip and I figured I'd add some detail without muddying the clarity of my OP. A free market, capitalistic society depends on a strong legal framework with adequate enforcement. My data belongs to me and I should have the choice to set its price and sell it if I want (or not). Facebook's constant theft of data (to call out one of FB's many misdeeds) highlights a blatant failure of that legal framework. If you work for FaceCrook, you support their crooked endeavors and that's your choice - you have plenty of opportunities to earn a living that don't support such socially destructive actors.

  It's an ambiguous statement. A good steward of users' data might mean that you ensure 100% uptime at scale, and minimize unauthorized exfil (this is probably what the OP works on). Yet another type of stewardship is to be transparent about what you collect, why, and with whom you share it. Yet another is to be transparent about how you choose to manipulate people's behavior, both online and off. This is, of course, where Facebook fails spectacularly. But its not inconsistent with OP's words.

  Replace "steward" with "shepherd" and I'd be satisfied.
