Facebook, który wziął się za usuwanie botów i firm, które z fake news zrobiły biznes stracił 120 mld w wycenie giełdowej. To jest największa strata spółki giełdowej prawdopodobnie w historii amerykańskiej giełdy.

Twitter, który usunął miliony fake kont stracił 21% swojej wyceny. Inwestorzy nie nagradzają za bycie fair i próbę wejścia Facebooka i Twittera na "białą stronę mocy".

Tymczasem ewaluacja Apple przekroczyła bilion dolarów. Spółka, która produkuje bardzo drogie telefony, na konferencjach chwali się animacjami kupy i nie chce współpracować z organami ścigania nawet w przypadku podejrzeń o terroryzm. Do tego dziesiątki afer wywołanych wadliwym sprzętem i oprogramowaniem.

Jaki to jest sygnał dla kolejnego technokratycznego libertarianina z Doliny Krzemowej?

Nie przejmuj się wpływem swojej firmy na demokrację, politykę czy życie społeczne. Rób wszystko żeby zarabiać na swoich usługach i produktach.

PS Największe upały szczęśliwie spędziłem nad polskim morzem a potem na spływie kajakowym. Bałtyk miał temperaturę 25 stopni. W rzekach widziałem martwe ryby, które zginęły z powodu temperatur. I pomyśleć, że naprawdę nadal są ludzie, którzy nie wierzą w globalne ocieplenie. Oby do zimy.
