    I’d rather say we stick to our principles. The right-wing thinks all morals, ethics and principles are fake in order to make personal gains, while the left-wing - more often than not - means what it says. So most leftists won’t touch a tool that they deem unethical.

    Even in the case of Microsoft and Bing it seems apparent to me what is going on: Right-wingers will endlessly harp on about Microsoft being evil, being part of a cabal that rules Silicon Valley and engage in censorship in order to oppress them. Yet the moment Microsoft releases a tool that could be useful for them, they will instantly go use it.
