    It was a corporation. Corporations exist to get shareholders paid. You can’t expect those to not be for sale for the right price, which in this case was more than it was worth. If you want the people running companies to make decisions based on ethics, you should ban publicly traded corporations first otherwise it’s just not happening.

      I mean, they routinely make the unethical decision. They probably wouldn’t be in the position to make it in the first place if they didn’t already have dollar signs in their eyes. And I’ve been around enough tech companies to know that’s usually the way it breaks down.

      You’re right, this is the only decision where we can’t judge Dorsey’s ethics, and we should be attacking a dozen other positions and mistakes he’s made. If it would even help; twitter addicts probably don’t wanna hear it.
