There's that widespread idea that you can separate technology from ideology/politics. This is an illusion. You can't -- they interact in very complex and interesting ways. In the current case, where there are enormous bets at stake, gobs of money go to wages paid to people like you and me to work for those "companies associated with fascism" (wonder why those are the ones which always end up with the cash?). This is but one of the myriad threads of interaction. I for one am sad for Antoines decision, but hold it in highest respect. Cheers -- t
