Leadership from Alphabet, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Uber, and some other companies have reportedly come together to write a letter to President Trump opposing the travel ban. This is according to Kara Swisher of Recode. President Trump was expected to sign an executive order on cybersecurity yesterday. But it didn't happen. It was another interesting weekend with our new president - and not in a good way for many of the nation's immigrants. That prompted many tech leaders to speak out against President Trump's executive order banning U.S. entry to refugees and travelers from seven heavily Muslim countries. I think this just showcases how insane social media can be. The jump between action and reaction often results in the wrong people being targeted, victims further abused, and, in this case, not attacking an agency that made things worse and instead attacking one that was trying to help. Makes me wonder why any sane person uses social media. Once upon a time - the end of 2013, to be precise - Twitter was valued at nearly $40 billion. Today, it's "only" at $11.68 billion, with a majority of analysts rating the stock at a hold. Rumors of acquisitions abound, while the company is selling off software assets and pushing live video as its Next Big Thing. But how do you assess Twitter's value when it is the bully pulpit for the 45th President of the United States? It's an awkward conversation.
