Barely. I think FB engineers deserve more than “some” of the blame here. Surely they could see the negative consequences of linking health data into their graph.
The ones I know are proud of the fact they can pull in thousands of data sources. They will show off what they can do using big data, AI and other bingo terms with your data.
Agreed. If you can get hired as an engineer at FB, you can get hired as an engineer at a less shitty company.
If FB started hiring unskilled laborers and promised to train them up to be a software dev, I could see this argument having some weight. But, AFAIK, they don’t.
