>a significant portion of Republican base now considers Silicon Valley tech companies as foes
Which is hilarious, as Facebook at least is happy to take Russian money to aid Republicans. Silicon Valley is party-less, stateless. They serve only money, nothing else.
- commandlinefan 8y ago> party-less I think that’s a stretch. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Mark Benioff (Salesforce), Tim Cook and Reed Hastings (Netflix) have all come out as rabidly pro-Democrat and have in many cases admitted to adjusting their platforms to shift public sentiment in favor of liberal politicians and liberal political causes.

- commandlinefan 8y agoWell, I'm referring to the Facebook/Twitter/YouTube conservative purge - they're pretty open about it.
- Avshalom 8y agoIf they're doing it they aren't 'open' about it unless you think there's no difference whatever Alex Jones or Richard Spencer are and conservatives.
- BrainlingPdx 8y agoSilicon Valley is a haven of meritocratic fake libertarianism. Most of the people on your list that are supposedly "rabidly pro-Democrat" have given as much, more more, to Republican pro business candidates as Democrats. I guess to you anyone who isn't sucking at the teet of Fox and Breitbart is "rabidly pro-Democrat"? You need some pretty serious citations before I'm going to believe anything out of that last line. It sounds like an easily re-packaged and regurgitated Fox sound bite more than reality.
