     It's bizarre that someone in charge of marketing can be so unbelievably tone deaf and unaware of their customers. Either she, or someone, is intentionally trying to damage Raspberry Pi's brand (like Elon with Twitter?), or they just got a massive deal with a surveillance company and a requirement for the deal was to get rid of all their privacy-conscious customers.

     @mcv Yeah - it's definitely just a completely bonkers conspiracy theory rather than checking your team for actual problems

     It's not just about the cop. I can totally understand hiring him if he's got the skills they want. The issue is firstly how they present him ("look at all this cool privacy-invasive spyware you can make") and secondly how they respond to questions from the community ("bye bye" *block*).
     
     And then claiming it's about pigs in a blanket without a content warning. It's a completely surreal level of denial. I don't understand how anyone can double down on a relatively minor mistake in such a totally destructive manner.
