Pando had an even snarkier take. And here’s a way to do better: Don’t start a company that reads users’ email and sells details of their private behavior to the highest bidder. That’s a horrible way to spend your short life on this earth. Stop doing it. Do something better.Here’s a good rule of thumb: If the New York Times reporting on what your business does -- not something bad it did, just the actual thing it does to make money -- triggers a wave of outrage from users, then your business is horrible.
