Sometimes, I wish engineers running backend services were not hindered by management nonsense and would just nuke these systems when they are reported, sufficiently backed up with evidence (like here -- though I'd do a personal check first to verify). Seems like some did (congrats), others didn't (Firebase). I can assure you if I was on the other end, I would have escalated until I got fired or the service was down. Unimaginable that some let these run, wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and aren't ashamed of themselves.

People will continue doing their unethical behaviour not because we aren't on the streets fighting for the right thing, but because we just don't care enough, and let them continue.
