Similar to finding nudes of your neighbor laying in their driveway. Sure, you could let them know and hope for a reward, or you could put it up for auction, which is totally not exploitative. /s
- PeterisP 13y agoYahoo is neither my neighbor, peer or equal. There are very different social expectations when doing 'business' with your neighbor versus doing business with a corporate entity. Also, losing photos is a very different than distributing a partly defective product - you're generally not morally at fault for accidentally losing your own stuff, but you are fully responsible for accidentally manufacturing and distributing defective products. An appropriate non-IT analogy would be noticing a particular simple way how a Bigcorp chainsaw could be made safer, fixing a risk of hurting the user - you could just let them know "hey, do X and all your chainsaws will be safer for all of us" and get nice fuzzies, or offer to sell them (or other chainsaw manufacturers) the discovery - it's your choice, and although one is much more charitable, both choices are acceptable.
