It's a great post. And it raises some super interesting questions!
So I decided to dive into the details about why, at least outside of some extreme cases, tech cos aren't close to becoming direct participants in the war.
Along the way:
When do you become a "direct participant in hostilities"?
What does it mean if you do?
Does co-locating or handling mil data make you a participant?
And could it drag the US into war with Russia even if they did?

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

Bari Weiss doing PR hatchet work for the world's richest man (to distract from having fired striking janitors) on the day all her former NYT colleagues stage a labor walkout. Writers room perfection.
