Small-scale imperial boomerang. You thought that you're building a privacy-destroying machine and this machine will never destroy _your_ privacy? At some point in the future, a lot of the SV techbros will be hopefully viewed as ghouls with no morals or ethics.

If you work for meta you shouldn't have a problem with invading the privacy of others. Of course this is not ok, but you should really quit your job if you have ethical or moral problems with that.

Anyone working for Meta could have chosen to work elsewhere. You have other options (that might not pay $350 grand, but hey, that's the price of your soul)
