Well, it is tech, what do you expect?
twitter isn't any more "tech" than Nanna's blog about knitting.
It's literally a tech company. The laws the company tests are all about the impact of tech.
This could be said of any large multinational.
BHP is a multinational mining company worth 4x twitter which tests laws around the impact of tech. If they wanted to re-brand would that be tech news ?
Exactly. And when BHP tests laws in ways that are newsworthy people can discuss them here. The disconnect in your logic is hilarious.
They are not sellung technology. If i could buy a license to run twitter on my server then you would be correct.
Twitter is a socialmedia company . Just as uber is rideshare company
In your mind a company has to sell tech to be a tech company. Is Google a tech company? Were they not a tech company when they developed a sorting algorithm for the web? Were they not a tech company when they started spelling targeted advertising based on that algorithm? Of they were and are.
