You cannot get to the scale of Facebook or Google without being political.
These are tech companies in that they sell tech. They are not tech companies as in parties who are only interested in building the best products using technology. As far as how they act silicon valley is turning just as bad as Wall Street
- dunpeal 8y ago> You cannot get to the scale of Facebook or Google without being political. There's plenty of counterexamples. There's huge companies much bigger than FB and Google that were never political outside of tech. Even in tech, you have Microsoft for example. I don't recall them ever being political in the 90s when they got huge. In fact, they don't seem political right now.
- lovich 8y agoThey all lobby, that is political just as a general example. Once you get big enough even the lack of action is a political choice. My point is that when you are at that scale your very existence is political, so there is no sense in trying to pretend politics does not exist.
