Correct, they were specifically worried about the appearance of them condoning whatever content was produced if it was publicly known.

The result from this was for them to just dissolve that entire department, and then outsource any future video production that they might need.




Which, to me, is an insane concern. Who wouldn't understand, in the rare instance of such abuse, "we trust our employees to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. This person misused our trust, etc."


I thought it was insane rather than to deal with issues like that on a case by case basis, they decided to just fire ~ 30 people. But then again, I'm not a corporate muckety-muck, so what do I know.
