There are a lot of dubious companies on HackerOne. Why did taking a stance on this one have a perceived more positive outcome than taking any stance at all?

Pretty much zero of the companies on HackerOne are part of any social responsibility index, shariah compliant index, or trendy b-corporation index. And even in the non-zero rebuttal, the vast majority can have entire dissertations written about weighing the ethical considerations for doing any business with them.

So why even make a stance at all?

The time it takes for the arbitrary nature of your ethical decisions to become apparent is simply longer than it will take for your runway to deplete.

shariah compliant index?

Did you include that just to question the objective nature of morality?

B corporations and socially responsible investing are shariah compliant investing rebranded for an islamaphobic audience.

Standard & Poors operates shariah compliant funds right over in Toronto and is also very popular in many markets.

Maybe it doesn't mean what you think it means, maybe you'll learn

Shariah compliant investing follows specifically and explicitly from a religious moral basis.

SRI seems much more concerned with issues of Social Justice and human welfare, in ways not always inline with Sharia principles.

If you say they are similar, the burden is on you to demonstrate.

Significant overlap in the concepts such as avoiding companies into firearms, profiting from conflict zones, tobacco sometimes and other vices.

Thats the demonstration. Shouldn't bother you that much.
