This is a real problem that needs solving, but I can see this sort of thing at scale leading big tech companies to not allow their employees to do this anymore.

It's definitely a grey zone. I am definitely keeping all tech employees' info private, nothing is displayed on the site.

If it becomes large, I imagine big tech companies would try to fight it, but let's cross that bridge when we get to it.

Won't tech companies just post honeypot bounties and see who bites?

Hehe, you've learned well the SV way of doing things. After all, your former employer is the one who coined "move fast and break things".

I find this disingenuous. You explain how you verify that the employees work for big tech on your FAQ. It would be trivial for companies of this size to go backwards.

I’m sure your motives were good, but I’d urge you to think this through.
