What possible motivation did Facebook have for contacting the company with whom this person had a contract employee relationship with, other than to implicitly threaten problems for both? There was no implication that he was doing this other than on his own, and he had cleared it with his employer. Presumably he didn&#x27;t email Facebook with a corporate email account, and presumably his employer wasn&#x27;t in a position where Facebook&#x27;s first assumption would be &quot;corporate espionage! (which was voluntarily reported to a bug bounty program)&quot; - that&#x27;s disingenuous.<p>No, it was &quot;We&#x27;re bigger than you and we have the power to fuck with your life and livelihood&quot;, and nothing more.
