  • "Business" is NOT neutral.
  • Tech is NOT apolitical.
  • Industry is NOT detached from the wider societal and political issues.

Executives & investors who promote opposite facts are either naïve or benefiting from isolating & silencing their employees.

@OmaymaS what did coin base do? Since Paul Graham's racist self has blocked me on twitter (although he has surprisingly sane views on Gaza) I can't see what he linked to.

@timnitGebru An old statement about being a "mission-focused company".

@OmaymaS @timnitGebru

"Mission first" company rhetoric is a particularly transparent fig leaf for "no 'controversial' political opinions on internal work channels"

Which has the practical effect of "do not express opinions that might run counter to the interests of the status quo"

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges"
