Or is it Mark Zuckerberg?

I'm wondering what each hopes to achieve when one side says I am online and the other says no.

One community can't have two competing leaders.

For me, I don't have the energy for that. I'm only about 42 kg and consider myself physically weak. I would rely on Chamath to take on large responsibilities. I can't do it myself because I lack the stamina. I wish I could, but I can't.

Plus,

Yes

That's how it is

I can't even do three laps around Torrington; I can do two.

I am quite physically weak

And I have difficulty recovering

Hypothetically, if Jesus had made some kind of deal with Satan, he might have acquired wealth and political authority.

But I don't know; perhaps he was reserved around King Herod and chose not to perform public demonstrations to prove his miracles.

He may have understood that doing so could have placed him in a position of power, replacing local rulers or even Caesar — a dynamic similar to modern political rivalries like Trump and Pompeo.

I think if Zuck had more money, perhaps the roughly $80 billion a year in profit that Google has, he could very easily capture value from businesses and people listed on Facebook and Instagram; much of the work is already there, and that could translate into significant revenue that would benefit his platform rather than Larry Page.

He might prefer me to Chamath, but I think Mark helped shape Chamath's platform, and Chamath in turn supported me because he saw something in me. Philip Deutch from Social Capital is involved, and they probably hold favorable views, otherwise none of this would have happened.

I honestly don't wish to condemn Google or Larry Page. I'm looking for a way to pardon them or release them from this situation, and even if they are at fault, I choose to forgive.

I hope I'm wrong — that local Google partners will see my website, find a mistake I made as an amateur web developer, and rectify it so it works properly.

But if not, and I feel they have acted against me and may continue to do so, I would need to respond or seek redress. I don't want their employees to be subjected to targeting or to feel fearful, for example in Singapore where ministers like Shanmugam may raise questions.

I don't want to spend the next ten years on this. I want to encourage people to respect Black people and not feel they must hide their jewelry or change how they act in public. I want people to be able to trust Google without that trust feeling like an act of betrayal because of these events.

I don't want to participate in any effort that would harm people's lives.
