Nope. None of that is relevant to the job at Facebook or what he was invested in while working there. Gratuitous social asshattery turns me off.
The clown that decides on which articles go in the Technology Review is a flaming leftist. He’d never allow anything that doesn’t support whatever is the current narrative.
