"If you can’t manage to say a hard no to those responsible for the dismemberment of a journalist or to a predator of young girls, I am not sure what to say." Eviscerating column from the great @karaswisher: https://t.co/jc5IOrx4YR

"If you can’t manage to say a hard no to those responsible for the dismemberment of a journalist or to a predator of young girls, I am not sure what to say." @karaswisher fittingly eviscerates Joi Ito and the tech industry for their corrupt associations. https://t.co/ecNskX0QlC

A lot of shameful behavior in this MIT Media Lab story, but @karaswisher gives kudos where it is due: to @xeni, who has been banging the drum of common sense and accountability when news of Jeffrey Epstein's donations were revealedhttps://t.co/QPlbZJmMD5

It's the system that needs to go: @karaswisher these corner-cutting ethics have too often become part and parcel to the way business is done in the top echelons of tech, allowing those who violate clear rules and flout decent behavior to thrive https://t.co/TfgvlD9VUm

Joi Ito’s fall from grace for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was much deserved. But his style of corner-cutting ethics is all too common in tech. https://t.co/DhBeKvIgXo
