@tinker I really think this is a game of "prisoner's dilemma". Unless basically all of these companies come out against it, the ones that do know they're going to get crushed like Sentinel One, and on top of that, I am going to bet that a whole bunch of their CEO's/BoD's are MAGAs

@jerry @tinker It is hard. Even when the principals in the C-suite or Board oppose the lawless administration, if they are publicly traded they have a fiduciary duty act in the interests of the shareholders and the federal government is the largest customer for many cybersecurity companies. As Jerry said, it’s a prisoner’s dilemma where unless we all stand united we will all hang separately.

@Infosecben @jerry - This really does highlight how the apparatus of the current economic and legal setup can only allow for unethical actions.

When "fiduciary responsibility" means fucking over a massive amount of people for the narrow benefit of a few, then things are bad. Real bad.

@tinker @jerry I agree it is screwed up, but that’s the situation. Sadly half the country voted for this. Congress has no spine to question things the administration is doing, and the supreme court’s immunity decision gives him a blank check. We all have to live with that.

@Infosecben @jerry - Just under half of *those who voted*. He doesnt have a mandate.

And no. We don't have to live with it.

Step up.

@tinker @jerry I hear you. We crossed the Rubicon but that doesn’t mean all is lost. Mutual aid. Support the disenfranchised. Seek leaders that can resist this lawlessness and back them up.

@Infosecben @jerry - Exactly. We most certainly need to accept the situation as it is. Right. But only insofar as it allows us to find a path forward to fight and change it.
