In the past 24 hour cycle of news I have seen:

- Microsoft catching heat for their deal to allow ICE to use their capabilities

- Amazon catching heat for their deal to allow government to use facial recognition

- A photo of Satya Nadella, Jeff Bezos and Trump sitting next to each other and shaking hands

What's the play here?
