To any engineers reading this who are now working at Facebook, you have a choice to make:
Stay in the organization and work to turn it away form casual misuse of personal information. Prevent an Orwellian future of machine-learning assisted, personally targeted messaging preying upon our fears and insecurities. Stand up and speak out against the performance of unethical psychological experiments on unwitting participants.
-OR-
Leave now.
This is one of the important moral issues of our time. To stay on the sidelines is unacceptable.
