Thank you for the reply!
I am not wholy convinced by this. For one Whittaker is not Signal. Whittaker as part of Signal will represent Signal's position, not the other way aroudn.
Secondly, opposing sexual misconduct, LGBTQ-rights, and opposing AI are not inherent political standpoints. They can linger broadly on a political spectrum.
Ignoring my first point, and assuming that Signal has absorbed Whittaker's standpoints; has AWS or Amazon as a whole and as a company a stance against the points Whittaker (personally) advocates for?
whittaker is pretty clearly for freedom, while bezos is for his employees peeing in a bottle because they can't afford to take a break.
i think the difference is pretty clear and if you are discussing in good faith, there is no way you don't see it. if you are just sealioning, then bye.
I don't know why you suddenly have to respond like that. I merely wonder how you came to the conclusion that they are each other's opposition, because generally you separate personal opinions from corporate policy.
this is how: whittaker is pretty clearly for freedom, while bezos is for his employees peeing in a bottle because they can’t afford to take a break
i don't believe that to be true. unless you are true sociopath, you try to find a company, or an employee, that aligns with your own values. hence why vegan will be unlikely to seek a position as a CEO of slaughterhouse, inc, nor will board of directors of the slaughterhouse prefer such candidate.
