There's more to it than twitter allegations, you know. Real people have been hurt.

I am not saying real people weren’t hurt. But some of these allegations are years old. You don’t think those same insiders who were pushing those stories in news media could buy the lows and now riding the spike in the stock price?

So you don't think your original comment was (or at least seemed) dismissive of the allegations and was instead purely a note on the timing of them coming to the public?

Are CEOs who make 100+ million USD per year responsible for the behavior of those under them? What about when they are informed of such behavior and do nothing?
Sometimes it seems we hold those working the drive-thru window at a fast food place to a higher standard than major CEOs.

I don't like sanctimonious woke policies like we get from Microsoft, but these allegation seemed to be corroborated by multiple people.
Don't think Microsoft is any better than Activision, although most software developers aren't really famous for being outgoing womanizers.
Hopefully woke culture will take more of a toll on US tech and we will see more US companies opening up in Europe. The US tech centralization is bad for the world (and US consumers).
