I see no reason to believe that Twitter, Facebook, or any other corporation is this deeply invested in ideology, per se. Fiduciary obligation is to make money. So long as they *believe* the current approach will be good for the corp at the end of the day, they will continue.https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1080548258701750272 …
Their C-level execs are obvs willing to violate their fiduciary duty in order to virtue-signal. Someday shareholders will catch on and replace them.
The act of virtue-signaling does not require actual adherence to the ideology. It can be argued (and in fact I would argue) that any virtue-signaling by execs is as likely a performance for the benefit of corp as it is a genuine display of inner feeling.
It could be seen as an attempt to purchase a feeling of moral righteousness. They spent their lives working long, long hours and being obsessed with their companies. That doesn’t leave much time for character development or cultivation of their inner selves.
As someone who spends 14 hours a day, 300+ days of the year keeping up with my firms companies (some of which are large tech companies), I have to say that you're very wrong about this. It's basically always money first and people quickly get booted if they don't "get" that.
These ppl prove over and over that, now that their (reasonable) goals of success and wealth are met, what they care most abt are their reputations among their lefty friends. They will lose money as a way of purchasing indulgences. The shareholders may be our best hope.
Not if they replace the shareholders first!
The problem also is that if they follow the mob and change the dialogue, they can force the dialogue towards the shareholders thinking as they do.
No they wont. The safety board is made of SJW organisation and the NATO's atlantic council. Our overextended liberal empire is in great need of a ideology that grant it power and moral authority. institutional clout matters not just in China and Saudi A. but US.
In other words, corporate executives are breaching fiduciary duty, hurting share price and by extension, losing millions of dollars of value in the stock options they receive in compensation just so they can virtue signal to the markets? Not happening.
I bloody well hope so
The sad truth is that these tech companies can easily get away with banning many of the more right-wing people on their platforms and be perfectly successful as a business. They may even justify it in terms of creating a better platform for their high value celebrity customers.
(they do argue just that) We simply aren't all that important to their bottom line. Twitter's business case isn't built around facilitating political debate around as wide a range of views as possible. Prob 90% is celebrities and ppl with nothing to do with politics.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
