“Google removed certain apps used to report sightings of ICE officials, and “then they immediately turned around and approved an app that helps the government unconstitutionally target an actual vulnerable group.”

    I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Big corporations like Google, Apple, love fascism. It’s easier to profit by bribing a dictator, than it is to compete fairly in a free marketplace

      It’s easier to profit up until the orange idiot wakes up with a random personal vendetta one day because he had a dream that Tim Apple mentioned Bubba or something

      But I guess in the short term it’s more profitable which really is the only thing corporations care about
