He signed a secret agreement to help develop China's technology [1], lobbied against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China [2], and blocked the Hong Kong protest app [3], the New York Times app [4], and many others [5] in China.
More likely he was curious and didn't understand the vitriolic nature of the interactions. Kinda like a drunken Irishman stumbling into a bar fight in Istanbul.
FWIW ICE agents will probably face charges for what happened to Pretti, so cool off on that.
I don't think criticizing anyone for what they did before/after a particular event that they were not a party to is justifiable. Let's give everyone, including Cook, the right to free choice in use of their own time.
The entire article is based on “dozens of vomiting emojis” Slack reactions.
More censorship on HN. Everything related to Trump gets flagged.

This is less than negligible.

Apparently it still wasn't enough to have Xi tell his boy Trump that Cook doesn't need to waste time licking the boot.
unrelated, but god do I hate this site's layout. incredibly distracting pitch black off-balance header.

The ICE folks had enough guns of their own. And trumps party has spent decades making sure that people can open carry weapons. Bit of a conundrum, eh?
Best not to respond to the trolls.

Throwaway account from a troll. Don't engage.
It’s interesting that this issue has triggered the trolls. It underlines how damaging the story is to MAGA.
Insecure much?
This is a new account that is only here to troll. Just flag and move on. It’ll get shadow banned soon enough.
