Well he does use an Android, so it wouldn't surprise me if that was 100% correct.
Disgraceful

I hope I am wrong but if I read this correctly it's like the Iraq resolution in 2002 that gave the president the right to attack anytime. This can be used as bargaining in negotiations but also as rationale to go to war.
Don't believe me? See TechCrunch absurdities written by Megan Rose Dickey who is a self proclaimed reporter at TechCrunch focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice. How she still has a job is beyond me. If this were the other way around, a white male writing like she does he would be blasted as a sexist, and racist and socially shamed into oblivion.

This was posted yesterday, and I flagged it then, and I'm flagging it now. TechCrunch has a reputation of writing opinion stories without doing the proper research or due diligence.

You just said she's a reporter who's focused on diversity, and the 3 headlines you quoted look like they're focused on diversity. Without having read the articles, just reading your comment, it kind of looks like she's actually doing her job.
