So, up front, I think there is more than a little schadenfreude to be enjoyed here. I'll skip that, though.
The main thing here is that we chose this future. We built platforms for 140 sniping, and we built censorship tools that helped enable filter bubbles. We built ad tools to monetize rage and not journalism.
We bent over prostrate at the ideas of "equality", diversity, and freedom--all with the best of intentions! We ousted Brendan Eich, we gave Thiel a pass because he was outed by Gawker, and now?
Now they're going against the guys that sign our checks and cheerlead our endeavors.
If this is finally a step too far, if this is a gross misrepresentation of reality or a hit piece, we're late to the party. The time to have avoided this was years ago.
Bunch of hypocrites.
