Tech Companies Are Battling Racism, But Can They Win?
Tech companies have rallied together to take stringent action against white supremacist groups in the wake of the Charlottesville violence that left a woman dead.
While Facebook has taken down the “Unite The Right” page, Google and GoDaddy have de-registered the domain of the racist site Daily Stormer.
Even Apple got into the act, cutting Apple Pay support for websites that sell white supremacist merchandize. Apple CEO Tim Cook even publicly voiced his disagreement with President Donald Trump’s ambivalent stand of assigning blame to both sides.
