I'm not interested as I think it would be hypocritical and immoral for me to persue a job at Facebook. Considering Facebooks current issues I'd be interested how people would justify this career path to themselves.

It's like wanting to sign up for the UK armed forces in the middle of the Iraq war. Like, it's a really bad idea. What are your principle, are they summed up as "I want as much money as possible and who cares how"

I'm surprised how far down I had to scroll before I found a comment like this. I was approached by a Facebook recruiter twice in the last year, both times I gave a polite "not interested", with a list of reasons why.

Some people probably _did_ sign up for the armed forces in the middle of the Iraq war. Not that I agree with them, but they probably saw themselves as patriots. Sometimes people just have different morals, try speaking to people who work in the MIC and you’ll notice that they all think they’re doing good.
