Why is Apple waiting? When will AWS drop them?
My theory is that the companies are getting some tough calls from Nancy Pelosi- along the lines of you stop supporting violence right now or we will deal with you unfavorably later.
- jurassic 6y agoA conspiracy involving Nancy Pelosi isn't needed to explain what is happening here. Based on what I saw in my household-name tech workplace this week, big tech companies likely all have internal employee activism campaigns happening to pressure leadership to act (which I think is a good thing). This week has really shown me what people mean when they say workers in tech have power. ~300 cosigners of the employee petition at Twitter helped remove Trump's ability to spread propaganda to nearly 90M followers. That's amazing and something I frankly thought would never happen. Without that internal pressure, Trump would still have his bully pulpit and zero Republicans would be coming forward to talk openly about a post-Trump future for the party like we saw Murkowski do today.
