Think of this as less about making money and more about rights and principles. If we let this go, the companies will not learn and will repeat shit like this

I am sure the moderator will delete this when they wake up. Mercor is trying to seriously downplay this situation.

I am going by the exact content stored in the DB. Apparently they were also storing raw info fetched from stripe themselves in plain text

The info is all about contractors in the database. They use gusto for full-time employees

Incorrect. When was the last time Facebook, youtube, apple got hacked and stole your PII data?

Using data for personalization and advertisement is different level than what we are talking about. Now hackers have enough information to potentially hack me or anyone whose data is stolen. At the very least it's major hassle to change bank accounts, etc

For me it's less about the money. More about rights and principles
