I'm sympathetic to this view, which has merit. I'm also happy to accept any new advocates for privacy and liberty. Purity tests are counterproductive to a movement's goals. Effort should be directed toward activities that advance the agenda of the movement, directly or indirectly.

Here's a better statement "I'm glad they're seeing the light, even if they had to become victimized themselves to finally care."

Fair point, but I'd have to see something more concrete than just them complaining about this situation specifically to believe they've actually seen the light. If they just continue to work there as usual and make no efforts to even find a job elsewhere, it doesn't seem like they've yet opened their eyes to the light.

There's something to be said about being an internal advocate for the right thing. Better to be fired for repeatedly advocating for privacy than to resign. Adding friction to wrongdoing is good.
