Topics
Robert Evans: 本期节目讲述了eBay内部安全部门对两位老年博主（Steiners夫妇）发起的疯狂报复行动，以及公司情报行业运作的黑暗面。事件起因于Steiners夫妇的博客文章批评了eBay CEO Devin Winig的高薪和公司的一些不合理开支，例如斥巨资建造公司内部酒吧等。eBay安全部门主管Jim Bogg在CEO默许或授意下，对Steiners夫妇进行了跟踪、骚扰等一系列非法活动，试图压制批评声音。 本事件反映了公司情报行业中存在的道德风险和滥用权力问题，以及一些公司高管对批评声音的过度敏感和报复心理。 Jason Pargin: 对eBay事件的评论和补充，可能包括对公司文化、高管行为、以及公司安全部门运作方式的分析。
