I think it makes sense for me to start by saying that I probably wouldn’t work for Facebook. I think the biggest reason behind this is highlighted by the idea of “Eploitation of Consumers” as further highlighted in the reading for this week – “5.2 Working for Ethically Complicated Organizations”. I think what started off as a connection platform where people can stay up to date with friends and family definitely went off the rails when money entered the picture.
Now it seems advertisements are placed for influence based on the highest bidder and consumer information is sold to help Facebook increase their profit at the cost of consumers having personal data spread across the industry. I think although Facebook may pay very well, it is a matter of whether my work is doing good in the world and not whether my compensation is well off which results in my answer to this question.
