> It’s folly to think these CEOs should steer their companies into direct confrontation with Trump.

…Are Apple and Google combined really not powerful enough to take on Trump?

This smacks of learned helplessness to me.

The article makes no sense to me. The original verge article wants X off the app store. This article says Apple isn't powerful to confront Trump, seemingly as an excuse for why they're leaving X on the store, and then goes on to say that, uh, Apple should kick X off the store.

Not only do apple and Google have a huge amount of power, but all anyone wants is for X off the app store, and apparently even this author agrees they're powerful enough for that.

So i don't see how Cook and Pichai are, in fact, anything but cowards
