  @thomasfuchs I empathise with your position and have held it in the past, but I’m currently working on privacy and safety stuff at Google and feel that my colleagues and I have a lot of scope to do good things for the internet.

  I don’t think there’s a right answer here, I’m not saying you’re wrong but I do think that “fighting” for good from the inside and outside can both be good approaches and meaningful improvements are likely to come from a combination of both external and internal pressure

  @thomasfuchs I’ve never been asked to do something I’ve not felt was right for the internet, my team works on things that I find unambiguously good.

  I haven’t needed to take a stand on the basis of my direct line of work here. I have done this at a previous role, refused to implement several features.

  As for other company priorities I would say there is often thriving internal discussion that I take part in where I feel it is right.
