So, is this just an attempt to smear Thiel by implying his company is going to "build Trump’s Muslim registry", and that Trump is indeed going to build one? Smear by association?
> "Being forced to collaborate with the U.S. government on large-scale human rights abuses is the first time I’ve ever seen that made high-end tech workers unionize"
What collaboration? I thought this was speculative "concern"? and who forces tech workers to do anything anyway?
Also, let's not talk about "tech workers unioniz[ing]" on the basis of just 50 people...
> one of the protestors and the founder of Frame Shift, a consulting firm training startups on inclusion and diversity
..leftist tech-workers, with possible interests of their own
> Trump pledged he would ban Muslim immigrants and establish a registry while in office
Did he? Maybe TC should clarify these claims, and what they mean. He pledged nothing wrt a registry though.
> such a database smacked of the Holocaust
which is why the idea was invented, and repeatedly reported, by the media.
> [Palantir] had not been quite as vocal.
Guilt through silence?
> Palantir’s Alex Karp eventually did come out against the building of a Muslim registry last week
Actually, no. Something actually substantial, and it doesn't support the premise of the protests, and the article. Nice weaseling: "eventually", as if there is some requirement to satisfy the press within some time limit.
> There’s a difference between telling the press that and pledging to never do it.
Beg next time, Alex! Get down on you knees! The left must be satisfied!!
> what measures it would take to ensure it would not be making a Muslim registry
Are you fucking serious!?!...
