There's many instances when someone from $company shows up in one of these threads on "$company is doing something nefarious" to do damage control... and I think this is the first one that doesn't reflect poorly on the $company in question.

The reason for this is that Stripe did do something wrong, and it wasn't in the script - it was in the disclosures and communication surrounding the script. So rather than PR spin, this is actually addressing the real problem.

To all other companies (and Stripe on some other day), this one thread is the exception that proves the rule that damage control in internet comments is a bad look.
