How Big Tech has Reshaped Modern Warfare in Ukraine
Subbu Vincent, director of journalism and media ethics spoke with TheWrap about the actions of Big Tech and social media companies.
“The excuse always was, ‘We aren’t the arbiters of truth,’” “That justification does not emerge in the Russia-Ukraine case if you see how [companies] have acted quickly.”
“They are seeing consequences for human lives and human agency down the line,” Vincent said. “This is about democratic human agency. … [Companies] are pulling out because the consequences will get worse if they stay in.”
As Vincent puts it, “Now that the world is burning, it is easier to make ethical decisions.”
