I miss businesses who didn't get involved in politics. Now it seems like everyone is pushing for them to do so and I'm sick and tired of everyone begging for their particular group to be pandered to.
Even those who used to avoid it like the plague, like CloudFlare and Namecheap have caved to these sorts of political pressures in the past year.
- hypersoar 8y agoPolitics is unavoidable. All businesses and people interact with power structures in some way. Pretending that they don't isn't neutrality, but rather a passive endorsement of the way things are. Big, entrenched, successful companies often have the luxury of assuming this stance because they like the way things are. As for Facebook in particular, their goal from the beginning has been to insert themselves into everyone's conversations. It's particularly absurd to think that they can avoid politics.
