Multi millionaires who got very lucky demand tech companies to come clean, yeah I doubt they’ll find allies in the populace or most of tech sympathetic. Use your 100s to wipe your tears Paul.

You know the general populous hates big tech far more than big-time artists, right? The profession is moving in the direction of lawyers and investment bankers in terms of public trust.

This is a very regressive line of thinking, promoted by those who want to block any positive change and maintain (a favourable for them) status quo.

- If you are negatively affected from a situation and you speak out, "you are doing it out of spite, because you're good for nothing".

- If you are speaking out in favour of the less fortunate without being directly affected, "this doesn't concern you - you shouldn't be talking, you privileged prick".

The same arguments over and over again, for anything that may result in a net positive change. Don't fall for it.
