It's a bit strange to write it on a site kinda powered by VC money.
But non small parts of American VC do either not seem to have much of a ethical bottom line outside of when it might cause costly PR disasters, or put themself on a moralistic pedestal convincing themself they know better whats right (often with some very twisted version of the American dream where money makes might and might makes right), or don't look too closely into this kind aspects of companies because the "don't want to know" as if they knew they had to act different.
By "a site powered by VC money", I presume you aren't talking about selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov, but rather hacker news? Hacker news links are submitted and voted on by the website members, and you don't need to be part of a ycombinator startup to be a member.
