It's just LJs privacy policy.

Probably fairly well. By then, people will have pulled their heads from their asses and realized that a flubbed attempt to do good is not the same as intention to do evil.

Not surprised. I am always super susupicious when a business touts itself as not just a company that offers really good services or products at great prices, or is a great place to work because they will help you foster growth in your career, pay for technical certification or other professional instruction, etc. But try to come across as "socially responsible," like Starbucks and Toyota do. Actually better as a company because they use feel good terminology like "moving forward" and other progressive-think speak

Personally, if I ever form a company, I'm going to have a policy that says, "Do evil. Not too often. But when you do, make sure you enjoy it."
