Can all “privacy advocates” who defend #RightsCon (a “human rights in the digital age” conference) having Google + Facebook (whose business model violates privacy; a human right) as sponsors pls do so now. I’d love to know who not to bother with & my block button needs some love.
You answer me: how much would you trust Greenpeace if they took a billion dollars from Exxon Mobil? Money is influence.

Given that analogy, I'd say that the promise of future money buys even more influence. Which is something that I'd worry less about in the Greenpeace / Exxon Mobile case than in the Google+Facebook / Privacy as a human rights conference case.

(I'd worry less about the Greenpeace case because I'd expect Greenpeace to say "thanks for the money, bye now!" - while I wouldn't expect that of any conference in need of sponsoring.)
