Here’s a really thoughtful essay by @LaurenGoode on whether, in 2019, tech writers and consumers can evaluate new products without also considering the records and behavior of the companies and people behind them. https://t.co/BBf46fujiU

Good Wired article about Andy Rubin’s stupid gimmick phone and how willing much of the tech press was to ignore his history of sexual assault in exchange for a glimpse of it https://t.co/lgoFUAnDGy

Playground, is a major investor in Essential. Its investors have included HP, Redpoint Ventures, and Google, which knew of Rubin's past and *still* gave him money for his venture fund. None of those companies would say if they are still investors in Playground.

Following the Google walkout, Andy Rubin was quietly shown the door at Playground Global, the venture fund he founded, back in May. A source says he received a $9 million payout. Some employees were not even notified of his departure. https://t.co/QsFW70GOiy

"Rubin's departure from Playground was also accompanied by a payout, with a source familiar placing the amount at more than $9 million." https://t.co/8ES9g4Zabx

Haven’t they excluded enough of us yet? They’ve already destroyed democracy..
Is anything disqualifying? Or is wealth the only qualifier?
Wow. This is 10x less than the $90 million that Google gave him after he forced Google employees to perform sex acts on him. "Rubin's departure...was also accompanied by a payout, with a source familiar placing the amount at more than $9 million" https://t.co/6w0TxdOvny
