Yes, #censorship is a real issue for every company, not just tech giants. But the answer isn't a wild west free for all without any censorship, which it sounds like you support. It's a very fine like between free speech and hate speech. I suspect that you would be opposed to a post calling for the violence against blacks or gays. What about a post that doesn't call out right for violence, but is deliberately published to incite hate which could lead to violence. It's a slippery slope.
Good point. And that was far from #Uber's only crime. They are probably one of the most unethical companies around. Yet they still make a bundle. Same with #Amazon. Even if they lose in court, it will likely amount to a minor slap on the wrist - a tiny percentage of the profits they reaped from this activity.
As long as the punishments are insignificant, the crimes will continue as the reward far outweighs the risk. I hope #eBay wins.
I had tried, and just tried again for you but failed. It really was jaw dropping. Wish I could find it again. Hard to believe what graphene can produce unless you can see it with your own eyes.
I saw a video about #graphene last year that blew me away. Wish I could find it now. The benefits to the tech industry are literally mind boggling. But I admit, after hearing nothing about it since then, I had completely forgotten about it until now. Glad to hear graphene is not a pipedream after all. And some good investment ideas here too. I may have to get in on this - you've rekindled my interest!
Unfortunately, this is pretty common with big companies. Remember Palm Pilot? Ever hear how they stole the sylus pen (the thingee that could change from a stylus to a pen) from an inventor who pitched the idea to them. It was a simple but brilliant idea so they just declined the offer and went on to make it on their own, even though the inventor had a patent. But Palm Pilot had a huge legal team while the inventor was just one guy. Fighting it would have bankrupted him.

Graphene, A Bet On The Future
That's graphite. Graphene is related somehow, yet totally different at the same time. Perhaps @[Michael Molman](user:50272) can better explain.
