Some time later on HN front page:
> Why I left FB,GOOG,Whatever
>> Author describes seemingly abhorrently unethical and immoral practices they were completely ignorant of, occurring right in front of them that they were a key participant in.
>> Accepted a massive salary to be ignorant.

>> Returned 0 money, cashed out.
>> 100% ethical now.
A tale as old as time…
