    It’s good news just considering that Peter #Thiel is a stakeholding¹ cofounder of airbnb. This is the same motherfucker who got Trump into power in 2016 by using Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and Thiel’s dark money contributions – which more recently got JD Vance into power. Also the same xenophobic scumbag motherfucker behind Palantir. The same piece of shit who cofounded PayPal (a surveillance capitalist). Thiel’s profits are detrimental to the world.

    ¹ to be clear he was a stakeholder ~10 years ago… not sure if that’s still the case.

      Nice work, not many people know/remember all of this. Whenever Facebook tried to spin a “rogue scientist took our data” I responded - you mean you handed it to the company with the same motherfucker in board and plenty of other connections. Brexit, trump and who knows what else (effective Russian propaganda in Europe?) is of their doing.
