Whilst I appreciate the commitment to their values, I wonder where they stand on the 'safety' of their users as it relates to the Android Developer Verification update (currently top of HN, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48755965).

"Security" vs Openness

> “make things so secure that we ourselves can’t break them, whether the device costs $1000 or $100, or the user is a celebrity or a refugee“

That can mean different things to different people in different contexts. Could easily mean building a software platform with security features that banks will build their apps to require.

moral clarity usually sharpens the moment the last RSU hits the brokerage account

Isn't his just weird repost of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48496396 ?

google used to be cool

This mirrors my own experience as a European that worked at FAANG in the Bay Area.

It used to be a dream job. Now I've relocated back to Europe and want nothing to do with American Big Tech. It's become toxic and completely counter to my values.

America has become a much darker place that has a very different place in the world. American tech companies have not just accepted, but actively embraced this transition. I am not interested in joining them and being complicit.

While I can understand the concerns, I wouldn't use a google doc to air my grievances though
