The tech company Astronomer is facing a major scandal after a viral incident during a Coldplay concert captured its CEO, Andy Byron, in an allegedly compromising position with HR executive Kristin Cabot. The controversy erupted after footage of the embrace on the Jumbotron circulated widely on social media, leading to public outrage and calls for accountability. In the wake of the scandal, Byron has resigned, and the company has initiated an investigation into the incident, which some argue highlights the perils of social media surveillance. Meanwhile, attention has turned to Cabot, who remains with the company despite her involvement. As the aftermath continues, commentary around privacy ethics and the nature of public shaming intensifies, leaving many to wonder if the punitive response was justified.
