Now I wonder whether the companies are different or the times are.
Unless they're an exec, then they might negotiate an exit package or it wouldn't get to that point.
Didn't the Google Exec who was most recently in the news for sexual misconduct misuse data?
I'm not aware of that angle but if you know more info I'd love to read about it.
Google's real motto is "Be as evil as I can be". Facebook's motto is "Be like google".
"Now I wonder whether the companies are different or the times are."
I think that makes it clear that I'm at least asking the question you lead with (but do not appear to have read far enough in what I wrote to see...).
The accusation that I'm affiliated with Google PR is way off base and that should have been superficially obvious from what I wrote above. I suspect and hope, but cannot prove, that your other assertions are similarly wrong.
And I wasn't accusing you of being part of Google's PR team. I'm saying I am sick of the google pr that I see here, especially in relation to facebook. Everytime people bring up facebook, someone always tries to imply google is better.
