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.

I mean, he agreed with trump on big tech being… 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.
