What's their social? would be a good follow-up too.

I'm not sure you understand that Apple could bury this person's career and numerous companies only need one phone call to let this person go. Please understand that you're creating an attack vector that is too great for this person to reveal.

View on HN

The picture the author included has enough information for an outsider to piece together their organization. The fact that it includes a meeting time and room would be enough for Apple to figure out who it was, just by looking at who booked it. Unfortunately, they probably are already in a position where Apple knows exactly who they are, and perhaps their colleagues do too.

> The picture the author included has enough information...

I'll refrain from the sarcasm. Although...it's very appealing.

Is exApple-anon (OG comment that I responded to protect the obvious attack vector) the same as limono (HN submission)?

Do you have evidence of this? I hope you certainly don't believe that they are the same person in a 100,000 person organization. This would be terribly assumptive.

I don't believe limono's questions were malicious but I wanted to make it clear why the questions were inappropriate.

I’m sorry, I’m not following your comment. I had interpreted the one I had originally responded to as “please don’t dox this person” to which I was responding “the pictures in the article are enough to dox the person already”. I am not quite sure how ‘limono or ‘exApple-anon come into this; FWIW I would doubt that they are or that ‘limono is even the person that wrote the article on Medium.

I know from my own personal experience that Apple doesn't care. This person could go right back to a different department and get a new contract if the opportunity exists.
