But in this case, they are doing a good thing.
Or do you believe that we should not acknowledge any positive actions from someone who has done something wrong in the past?

Seems everyone forgot that Epic was fined over half a billion by the FTC for “Violating Children's Privacy and Engaging in Dark Pattern Deception”.

They are as unethical as they come.

Let's not forget that Google isn't any better in that regard:
> Google Is Fined $170 Million for Violating Children’s Privacy on YouTube
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/04/technology/google-youtube...
> 15 privacy violation settlements amounting to roughly $1 billion between 2011 and 2023 with government regulators in various countries and private litigants

I’d have expected a journalist from better times, not accepting to be put there just to buttlick, to also ask questions not given by the press department, when the ceo said we want to make the world better, if they would have also stopped exploting kids in order to achieve that, but now newspapers are just external press departments
