Guy who wants to continue doing capitalism
If you want to change capitalism structure, tearing down privacy tools is not the way to do it.
How much does the equivalent salary at Whatsapp pay?
an app designed to harvest phone numbers isn't a privacy tool lmfao
Of course don't tare down privacy tools. But they don't need 700k a year, that's an unreasonable amount of money that should really be redistributed.
I'd be surprised if this was accurate. I've seen average at Facebook of 350k. But, that's the problem, we don't really know as the data is not public.
I would also assume the private company salaries we do know don't include stock options and bonuses.
I think 700k+ is crazy high for a company without a model for much revenue. However, if they can afford it and the people are worth it, I don't think it's a bad thing in and of itself.
That's definitely wrong. The head of whatsapp is almost certainly an E9 level or above employee, most likely above. And the average E9 makes like $4M a year
