Cant really blame one person. He/she probably got brainwashed by mainstream media propaganda that frames the CEO as some sort of “good person”.

Also maybe they got a reward
rImITywR@lemmy.world 10 months ago
$50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.

Still might not cover healthcare either.

I think I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.
Should people that still work at Twitter get a pass for the destruction it’s doing because there are lower level employees that need a paycheck to survive? How about employees at Google that indirectly enable Google to amass data at such a large scale it becomes impossible to have any privacy?
I understand the need to survive. Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in? Is 50k worth the potential long term gain for society if the rich become fearful?
Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should be equally to blame for the negativity their contributions bring. Where that line is, I’m not sure.
This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check. “Here’s enough money for a small trailer to live in. Have fun.”

That’s a pretty privileged position to take. "Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing. Is that any different from what CEO was doing?
Yes, $50k.
I’m not trying to justify it. I’m just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.
I mean, yeah. That’s the whole point. But I still don’t blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.

Are they actually going to pay that out?
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They usually do, it’s pennies to the government. Notice however, it’s information leading to the arrest AND conviction. They’re not getting paid anytime soon, if at all.
