        It’s literally a tech company. The laws the company tests are all about the impact of tech.

          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.

          > 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.
