I don’t know what the past was like, but the tech industry seems happy to take anyone’s money. I’m not sure I can blame individuals - if you’re desperate to survive and are working hard, it’s difficult to throw it all away and say no. It’s not surprising to see a Middle East gold rush when you have companies saying yes to China, to private equity, etc. If we want any of this to change, it’ll take regulation. Singling out Silicon Valley or the Middle East also doesn’t make sense when most of the economy has been outsourcing manufacturing to China, which annexed Tibet illegally and subjected them to re education, committed genocide in Xinjiang against Uyghurs, suppressed its citizens with the great firewall and social credit scores, violated agreements around Hong Kong’s governance, illegally attacked other countries ships in the South China Sea, etc. Comparatively, the UAE and Saudi Arabia feel friendly.
