You don't think you're blowing this one instance out of proportion at all? This is just a one person who works at a hobby computer company.

  My objection is not really that they hired him. I believe that people can change and no one is irredeemable, but I don't think they should advertise it like this. It's like hiring an ex-con who used to use your product to victimize others and then bragging about it and getting upset when people are unconformable with it. If nothing else, I think they should show more respect for people who are victims of the police and state-sponsored surveillance.

    What are the fact about this guy? What work did he do that's so objectionable?

      I don't know anything about him besides him having been a "Surveillance Officer" for 15 years. I feel the same about that as I feel about someone who has been a member of a crime gang or terrorist organization for that long. As long as the individual joined voluntarily and had the option to leave, I don't think it's unreasonable to judge them for the actions of the organization (or even organization type) without knowing what that individual specifically did.

        I don’t think we’re going to agree on this.
