Sure does seem Big Tech supports fascism wherever it can be found.
Somehow, this seems at odds with the strong hand Big Tech has brought to bear against people it claims are trying to undermine elections in the United States:
Following Russia’s demand that Apple and Google remove the tactical voting app, and then threats of fines, Apple and Google have dropped the “Smart Voting” app in the country.
The app, devised by imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was intended to boost candidates with the best chance of succeeding against incumbents. Apple and Google’s removal came just hours before election voting was due to begin.
The unifying principle seems to be that the tech oligarchs give preference to powerful people who prioritize the exertion of power. Not really that surprising, actually.
