> She said she 'loves' Facebook, and wants to fix it, not harm it.

I would guess it's a bit of a retrospective justification why she joined and stayed there for so long.

Facebook pays a lot. Compared to other industries, and compared to the tech industry as whole. However, publicly justifying that position is not acceptable in our society. Especially, after taking a moral stance as a whistleblower! "Yeah I wanted to make lots of money" does not sound compelling and would make her look bad. So there is the story of the radicalized friend, wanting to "help" Facebook etc. It's kind of like in the startup world, everyone should say they "want to change the world".

All that said, it should not detract from what she did. She is brave to come forward and hopefully it will lead to good outcomes.
