PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Silicon Valley is speaking out against anti-Asian racism following a surge in hate crimes in the U.S., even as social media companies come under pressure for not doing more to root out hate speech on their platforms.
Last Friday, more than 700 tech industry players took part in the Tech for AAPI online rally to condemn violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, with the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, and Deb Liu, CEO of Ancestry.com among the participants. Several prominent venture investors also joined the three-hour event to discuss how the tech industry can help combat anti-Asian racism.
