It's pretty interesting that Sam Altman wanted to stop Trump but YCombinator's Reddit was so instrumental in his victory, despite the opposition of it's employees. Facebook and Twitter helped Trump, too, despite Trump probably have sub-10% support among Facebook and Twitter employees. Google's SEME didn't seem to help as much as I thought it would. This will become more and more debated FAST now that Germany is beginning legal action against Facebook for helping promote political speech that Merkel and her allies have tried to keep from flaring up.
