There was some comment in Twitter along the lines of "I wouldn't hire anyone who had Coinbase in their resume". You could switch "Coinbase" for Meta, Palantir, Norton, or any other morally questionable company.

The fact is though that the easiest way for these companies to go bust is for them to lose all their competent employees. If someone working at Norton can't get a job anywhere else, no matter how good their qualifications, because they're on your blacklist, they're going to stick with Norton. That keeps Norton alive.

It's much better to accept that people are fallible, they make mistakes, and sometimes you join a company in good faith only for management to pivot, or the company to get acquired and questionable judgements to be made. It's important that developers and other employees at these companies are given an off-ramp when they decide the paycheck is no longer worth it.
