Hey it's me, ur Google. If you didn't want geography to be politicized, why the hell did you elect the guy who politicizes canned fucking beans?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In 2017 Sergey was seen protesting Trump’s signature Muslim Ban policy. A highly visible act of resistance against one of the things that Trump cared about the most.

Does anybody believe that this would happen today?

Happens constantly. it's just that tech decided to kiss the ring this round instead, so it lies in other institutions (and the people) to protest.

Trump winning the popular vote really scrambled things

All these big tech capitulations are their bets that the rule of law will not protect them, but kissing the ring will

It's a bad bet, ultimately - b/c the benefits and protections of kissing the ring are a mirage - their weakness is an invitation

Except neither of those things happened (me voting him in or them responding to a normy on HN)
