Palmer Luckey slams Silicon Valley for spending years trying to win China’s favor while refusing to work with the U.S. military: “A total abdication of responsibility.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳 “Let’s travel back 10 years to 2015. Google was trying to get into China. Facebook was trying to get into China. Microsoft was trying to get into China. China had convinced these companies, including Apple, that it was going to surpass the United States as the world’s dominant economic superpower. They thought they could make trillions of dollars by working with China the way China wanted. Google even had Project Dragonfly, a censored search engine for China that, according to the plan, could collect information on dissidents and report it to Chinese authorities. For about a decade, you had a total abdication of responsibility by our tech companies to do anything for the United States. They were refusing to work with our military. Google famously pulled out of Project Maven after employee protests. They were willing to accommodate China while refusing to help their own military.”
