He wasn’t retroactively cast as a misogynist, he was known to be misogynistic at the time, and he issued a false apology at the time.

But to your other point, he has steadfastly attacked consumer privacy as not being a thing that matters, so hiring him runs counter to that.

How was he known to be misogynistic? He had consensual fumble with a female colleague and criticised 'most Bay Area women', which is very different from hating women for being women.
