And certainly in our anti-politics filter we’d want to include the filtering of stories that promote the extreme political position that tech is somehow detached from politics! (Especially Silicon Valley startup tech that owes so much to the local politics and economy of California).
Which is to say, filtering politics out is absurd, one person’s extreme politics is another’s default view of the universe.
In a similar vein, I’ve had people assert (in all seriousness), their English had no discernible accent because they were American.
It’s a similar kind of mindset.
