Isn't it obvious? Tech has a clear blind spot for geopolitics. Saying anything critical of China or Russia, even if well-founded, is a great way to get downvotes and be stamped as propaganda or parroting propaganda. It's representative for how these companies and their employees view these issues.

So it's funny and depressing to see a comment here questioning why a Russian company was allowed to join a program like this after a massive hack by Russian entities, when Russian efforts in this sphere are more than well-documented.
