We should create a "privacy hall of shame" (I was tempted to call it the "privacy offender registry") and list the names of all the employees who work on these features, along with an easy-to-read blurb which explains how the feature could be misused. Bonus points for linking to their social profile. If you cannot find the actual person, go up the org chart and list the person closest on the hierarchy.

Not that it is going to matter, any more than you can dissuade members of a cult by telling them they should forego their membership. It just seems to bring the cult closer together.

This is called "Doxing"[1] and it's a form of harassment and a violation of privacy.
