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.
