@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:
#TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)
#GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)
The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)
#TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)
That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)
Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)
That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)
That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.
That the #US became hostile over night.
