1. You would freak people out because FAANG folks get constantly trained to identify attempts to elicit info and the bar for what they can discuss is so very low. I recommend leading with the trigger words "I'm not a reporter, I'm just a blogger"
2. They might report you to their corpos global security group and it would be a huge hassle for them. If they don't, they're gonna stress about that decision.
3. You would probably have a good laugh.

you sound like you've put some thought into this =D
honestly the main downside is that by talking about this publicly I've basically shot my chances of doing any of this personally myself (which I didn't realize until after I posted it)

(but realistically I am a coward so it wouldn't matter anyway)
