@msw@mstdn.social @adamjcook@mastodon.social @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social because
• they get to pay less money to Google
• they get to pay fewer taxes
is being sold to the public as “smile” and “look what we’re doing to help charities”. They’re whitewashing a cost-saving measure (which perverts the law, to boot) as “goodwill”.
I think “cynical” is spot on. Is it the worst they’ve done? No, there’s plenty more. But is it a good thing? No.

@chucker@norden.social @msw@mstdn.social @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social Sure. To be clear, I am not ignoring the tradeoffs and the corporate tax issues. I am just looking at it from an extremely simplistic perspective... small charitable organizations and non-profits received some money that they would not have otherwise. I am happy for those organizations that benefited.
