It feels as if these issues are only going to increase in parallel with the increasing rhetoric from the US about "other-ness" being "bad", and the co-dependence between the current administration and the US tech sector. This is only one example, and sensitive and possibly poorly chosen for the sensitivity of the topic (or maybe that makes it well chosen), but it was recent: https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/metas-banning-of-two-anti-zionist-comedians-from-instagram-is-the-latest-example-of-big-techs-deep-anti-palestinian-bias/ https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/metas-banning-of-two-anti-zio... Getting on the wrong side of a cause that is randomly chosen as important by the platform can be greatly damaging. It's easy to say what I regularly read on HN "you shouldn't have your income depend on the whims of a third party" despite it being true. The non-tech folks, which are in the great majority, don't know this. It doesn't really help that they don't want to know either. But it is the responsibility of us tech-folks to keep letting them know that what they may consider "constant" may well be "variable" sooner rather than later.
