Think about what they’re sponsoring and why. And before you allow them to, ask yourself if you want to legitimise them by your association.

@aral Google does sponsor JSConf EU, even helps out with diversity specifically, but they don’t get to define any politics.#notblackwhite -
@janl Of course it’s not black and white but here’s a concrete example of institutional corruption in the Code Club case. -
@aral I didn’t mean to imply you make it sound b/w, I was just referencing the closing of Linda’s post. My statement was just FYI :) - End of conversation
