This feels like déjà vu, because at one point the tech community was saying that a private company, a CEO, can do whatever they want. They can totally block people they don’t like politically. Now it seems one of their own is doing it and it’s not sitting well with people. A little hypocritical.
Presumably these are different people within the tech community which is extremely fragmented on whether it is more interesting to argue whether someone can do something or whether someone should do something.
