Couple of critiques :

- The source should be stated clearly in the image.

- You shouldn't interpolate between categorical data points.

- Total population breakdown should sum up to 100% (or you should at least explain why it doesn't if there's an explanation).

- Comparing employee racial distribution to HQ state or country population is absolutely meaningless for companies who have employees in other states / countries (which is gonna be the case for all of the companies listed here)

Probably can't handle the awesomeness.

I don't think this has as much of an impact. A quick glance at app and service popularity will tell you how little people actually care about privacy and how most of us will happily give any of our data away for the slightest modicum of convenience or novelty.
