There is nothing praise-worthy about taking a stand now, you should have been out of there ten years ago or never started to begin with. Zuckerberg has been consistently out of control and unaccountable since the Beacon fiasco, which was in like 2008.

This is slightly more annoying than all the government officials who only dare criticize the executive branch after they retire. We have way more data over a longer period of time about how horrible this company is, you should have figured it out a long time ago.

The last thing I want to read in 2020 is essays from wealthy tech workers who already cashed out talking about "taking a stand". You're not brave, you're a coward.

We praise people for changing in a positive direction. If we wait for perfection, we couldn't praise anything.

That is a ridiculous position. perhaps it would have been wise to do this 10 years ago, or perhaps not it doesn't matter. NOW, it is either the moral thing to do, or it is not. Clearly Mr. Aveni thinks it IS moral, and I applaud him for taking this step (at some significant personal cost) in accordance with his ethics.

What you advocate for is status quo. If you do not encourage positive behavior, you are less likely to see it happen.
