    Here’s the tweet. It was not a policy per se but the appointment of Gail Slater.

      I mean, he agreed with trump on big tech being bad… As a FOSS defender, I don’t particularly mind.

      If he had been agreeing with Trump on immigration, the economy, the law or hairstyle, it would be an actual issue but I don’t mind this. I would have hoped for it to have been another president to take them on, naturally, but still.

      A broken clock is right twice a day. It’s time we remind republicans we are the side of reason, logic and science by only attacking them on legitimate issues, of which there no shortage whatsoever…

      The whole thing was blown out of proportion IMO, but I think a large part of the blame is on Andy for going with the fake apology route. A simple “I’m not endorsing Trump.” would had gone a long way to calming the social media monster. But hey if he wants to be vague and divisive and alienate the company’s users, that’s a decision he’s entitled to, I guess.

      It’s literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.
