Bandwidth and storage is distributed in data centers around the world.

Or you mean using users’ bandwidth and storage to power the service? That might go over less well than you think.

This is not my experience working for Bay Area tech companies at all. A significant number of employees seem to think criticizing their employer is their primary job function.

If there’s nothing to complain about at the moment, they’ll manufacture it. They need a constant outlet to express how awful and oppressive their employer is, and if they don’t get enough attention internally, they’ll turn to Twitter and try to drum up outrage externally.

If a company has crossed an ethical (not political) line, I’m all for taking a stand. But this goes far beyond that.
