Comment on Condoleezza Rice, surveillance and torture fan, joins Dropbox board

Comments

So, are we going to boycott Dropbox because of the past political actions of one of their board members? And/or force her to resign?

Starting a war that cost thousands of lives on now-proven false claims and condoning torture does seem to be a bit more evil than contributing a few thousand dollars to a piece of legislation. But no, no boycott I imagine.

Yes, I'm now boycotting Dropbox, effective immediately. I'll also pen them an email detailing why I disapprove of their decision.

It's clear that my data isn't secure on Dropbox now, and, all things considered, I'd rather not support a company who makes morally unsound decisions such as recruiting a war criminal to be on their board.

If she resigns, I'm ok with that. If they kick her out, I'm ok with that too. If they come up with a very plausible rationale for why this isn't an amazing dick move, I'll stay with them. But I'm guessing I'll be migrating off Dropbox RSN...

I'm honestly not sure how much they'd give a shit if I told them I'm going to "stop using the free space they've given me" because of the bad person they just put on their board.
