    I’m not ignoring the other two things listed, I’m realistic.

    You described it like it was something rare for FAANG to do bad things. Or like it was bad only when it required whistleblowing… Think how many things got crushed by EEE tactics, and it’s only one class of examples of why big tech is inherently bad.

      I mean, a lot of companies do stuff like that, and yet you still need money to live. Just working there doesn’t necessarily make it your fault; by that logic it would be a sin to work checkout at Walmart, because you’ll have the same blood on your hands as the Waltons.

      I don’t really like talking about capitalism as if it’s a well defined concept, but, no ethical consumption under.

      I didn’t mean you, FYI. I mean someone who does work for a FAANG and is looking for more justification to do nothing for the common good.
