Ex-Pinterest engineer claims privacy violation

A former Pinterest engineer alleges that the company violated the privacy of laid-off colleagues by accessing and sharing data about deactivated employee accounts. Following recent layoffs, the engineer reportedly used a tool to identify the number of employees let go, organized by location. This action, shared internally, has led to accusations of privacy breaches and raised concerns among remaining employees about data access and transparency following workforce reductions. The situation highlights potential ethical and privacy issues arising from internal data usage during corporate restructuring.
