Non-American Big Tech

Jack Dorsey has apparently stepped down as CEO of Twitter.  The new CEO, an Apu, has taken over as his previous duties were that of CTO.

So it's official now.  Big Tech in the US is being run by foreigners and anti-Americans.

Google, Facebook and Twitter are all run by "men" who do not share American values.  They do not subscribe to the American dream and they do not think much of liberty and property.  Hell, the Apus in this country come from a society that was largely led by a caste system.  All men created equal indeed.

The good news is, Apus tend to not be very good at administration or management.  They mainly go "by the book" and are very inflexible when it comes to business management.  While this can have them running a smooth operation most of the time, when shit hits the fan, they are unsure what to do.

And yes, there are plenty of decent Indians out there who do good work.  I've worked with them.

But they are vastly overrated by dumb executives.

Indian bigotry aside, Big Tech is starting to explode.  Twitter and Facebook are basically not worth your time anymore.  Yeah, it's free, but they all want to keep things that way.  If it's free, it's harder to sue them when they fuck you over due to unspecified violations of community terms of service.

Once they start accepting premium or pro memberships, which they should have done from the start, they suddenly will find themselves unable to censor anyone with a proper perspective on reality itself.  They know that once money exchanges hands, they will have to allow the opinions of every asshole who is up-to-date on their dues and if they ban them, they'll have to be specific, rather than vague.

And many people are on to them.  I've long since deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts.  This is largely because both sites are useless cesspools that weren't worth my time.

And no, China's Big Tech will not overtake America's.   You can't overtake something that nobody will be using in the coming years.

I fully expect Twitter to go severely downhill in the coming months.  More than likely, they will roll out a bunch of unnecessary features and break the existing platform.  As for a reference to this prediction, see what happened to Skype.

The Apus pretty much control America's Big Tech at the moment.  It will probably fall apart pretty quickly now.
