The tech community have become bad actors, and a lot of apologism and hand-waving happens here.

At the moment they are just trading on the reputation of early pioneers who at least professed some ethics and commitment to public good to pretend they are part of the same group.

They continue to posture on public discussions while implementing dark patterns and surveillance as a matter of course in their workplace. This is the fact, the tech community led by SV have sold out and they know it. Their main priority is pretending its not happening or diminishing the consequences.

If there is a backlash it will be well deserved as these people are selling out the rest of the world for profit, greed and personal gain.
