Personally I think this has been a good pointer that we need to be careful about what we trust third party libraries and frameworks to do.

I in no way believe that Stripe had any intentions of doing anything wrong, however it is good to hold people accountable and ensure that what they do is above board. I have personal examples of companies caring very little about users data, except when they might be caught out for it.

Thanks for the article.

Very much agree. I think Stripe is demonstrating responsible behavior here, and the best way to further encourage that is to show that people actually care what they do and will raise alarms when they overstep, even inadvertently.
