Are you commenting on the optics or the ethics?

In a broader context, I don’t understand how others see this as a victory. As if taking the job post down means it’s not still part of their strategy.



Mainly on the optics. I know that’s shallow but I’m commenting on how it looks because perhaps that’s a symptom of something deeper.

Maybe people involved on these projects are so oblivious that it never occurred to them that they may be contributing to something that could be borderline unethical.

What’s kind of ridiculous about this is that you can tell these job requirements were written by a lawyer or similar. People that are trained and presumed to have a somewhat acute skill to evaluate the ethical complexities of a situation.
