Ad banner: “We’re totally not doing a genocide over here. Would you like to know more? >>”

I would jump out a window if my employer agreed to run these ads.

Jesus Christ the aid that could be paid for with that money…

I quit Google in as many ways as I could many years ago.

I’m doing my part!

If that meant giving up a job there, that’s a big statement of principle. Good for you.

Ah, no, not that. Never worked there. But I did leave a fintech job on principle. Making rich people richer made me wonder if I should go in and do my job worse every day.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of telling half a dozen Google people “no we won’t install your SDK in our app because we don’t trust you, an ad company, with our users data.”

They played innocent but also made it completely clear that they know exactly what I meant and I was not the first person to say this. Chumps.
