I wonder if Brenden Eich would go back and hide his Prop 8 contribution. Mozilla (and hence the rest of the technological world) would be better off if either it was hidden or the backlash was less unreasonable.
It's not just governments and corporations that misuse information but even society.
Brendan Eich has the right to support laws which correspond to his political views, even when others find those views morally reprehensible. And he exercised that right, and our society is all the better for it.
However, neither he, nor you (nor I) have the right to insist that the outrage of those who find his political views reprehensible meet some standard of 'reasonableness' just because he runs a tech company. Nobody dragged him out into the street with torches and pitchforks, they just insisted that a company they supported not be run by someone they considered a bigot.
Right or wrong, this wasn't 'misuse' of information, it was just activism.
It's not just governments and corporations that misuse information but even society.
