I don't know if you should paint the entire company's employees with the same brush. There are probably people at Facebook working on user privacy, trying to fight the good fight. Are they still tainted because they are fighting that fight at a "terrible data collection funnel advertising company"? These companies are huge and have lots of departments within that are not feeding the beast at all. (Disclaimer: Not a Facebook employee :) )

Well, it is rather clear which departments have higher authority.

Yes. Working for Facebook and "fighting the good fight" involves abandoning your Facebook paycheck.

They are, how naive could such hypothetical employees be that they wouldn't know FB's stances on privacy?

Insisting that people that work at a company you don't like should kill themselves seems a bit much, no?

It's just a suggestion; I don't insist on much of anything.
I would really like our world to be one in which attracting top talent requires more interestingness than simply being an a data vacuuming ad service.
If you work at, or would work at Facebook, you should probably follow Bill Hicks' advice.
