Privacy isn't the issue it's trust. It's like having an affair and keeping it private since you don't want to lose the relationship with your wife, lose money and respect.
You can keep your vote private, but it's different when you choose to spend millions backing someone who is probably one of the most hated people in the world due to racist and anti semitic remarks. Additionally, you are part of a company that has invested in you and your product. This could cost Facebook millions of maybe even bury Oculus.
Edit: it's trending news now. Looks like Facebook will be hit the worst since it was their investment and Palmer already has his money. |
That proves my point. For one it's really no ones business who he supports. If I send Bernie $27 do I need to declare it to the world? That's what he did except at a much bigger number. Do we now penalize people based on the $ value they are able to donate? That doesnt seem fair. Furthermore, to the bolded; thats exactly why he did and should have kept it private. It's obvious that SJW's would not be able to accept his different political views and would punish the company and any associated companies and all of the associated thousands of employees for this one guys political opinion. The solution shouldnt be for him to forfeit his right to have a political opinion and support it - the only fair solution is for him to be allowed his privacy about it.
