For my part, I'm just not interested in working at facebook or google or certain other companies because I disagree with their practices. Luckily, I'm far enough along in my career that I don't need to take just any job, even if it is limiting to be a privacy conscious data scientist.
I do worry that people like me just staying out of these places leads to an echo chamber, and change from within is great. I wonder whether my individual impact on social good is greater trying to be moral at a moral company, or trying to be moral at an immoral company.
Luckily I don't have to twist my logic around to justify staying and vesting.
Yeah, it's hard to be a conscientious objector when you never put yourself into the position of working for a company whose goals you need to object to.
