I think one good thing to come out of all this tech elite flip flopping is that I now see these tech leaders for exactly who they are. It makes me kind of sad, because as someone who came of age early in the Web era I really wanted to believe that there was a bigger moral good to all we were doing.

I now view any moralistic statement by any of these big tech companies as complete and total bullshit, which is probably for the best, because that is what it is. These companies now exist solely to amass power and wealth. They will still use moralistic language to try to motivate their employees, but I hope folks still see it for the complete nonsense that it is.
