You're downvoted because your comment implies that "just following orders" at companies with morally questionable business models might reflect back on the one taking orders.

For more downvotes, try suggesting that working for an adware and spyware based company could (and should!) lower your social status, even if not yet in the eyes of other people working for adware and spyware giants. But with growing awareness in the wider population, the outcome is inevitable.

Interesting, so I could work for the NSA or CIA and still get all the street-cred with you guys? Sorry but this is exactly the reason why I'm running my own business since 18+ years and never looked back since. If being "sheep" is what this job is now all about please kill me now.

EDIT: actually your comment is exactly what I despise because thinking like this makes you a non-free person. I'm sure people who worked for the Stasi or currently justify the actions of their employers (Google, Facebook and other FVEY collaborators) would exactly justify their existence with similar reasoning. Point being, if you feel that your employer does something shady it's up to you to change it. If this process makes you unemployable or an outcast in your current environment then I'd still have more respect for you serving me at McDonalds than doing what you do.
