If folks thought Rupert Murdoch was bad, let me tell you, Larry Ellison is far worse. And I say this as one of his customers! There's an old joke among Oracle DBAs:
What does Oracle stand for?

I had to download something from Oracle a little while back (so had to register an account with them), they make you tick a tick box saying you support Israel or something. It was crazy to see.
Majorly Zionist company. They have a whole section of their website just for news on Israel:
https://www.oracle.com/il-en/corporate/business-continuity-management/
Employees have complained about how the company its self works to suppress Pro-Palestinian voices online:

...and now they're buying TikTok.
Trumps attacks on TikTok from the get-go were clearly to seize control of it for fascist propaganda. Now we know.
Tiktok was a national security issue for about a decade but once it was blamed for why Americans gen z turned on israel for their genocide it became a real issue. And now two Jews are going to have controlling stake in it despite tiktok starting to censor anti Israeli sentiment.
Ain't free market beautiful?
My institution uses Oracle for management and I would consider it state-of-the-art for 1996.
nothing like have to memorize 15 number chartstrings to manually route approvals.
What's the difference between Larry Ellison and God?
God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.
His face looks like my taint
Oh... I thought you were going to tell us about a Chinese family
Doesn’t matter if they aren’t any better
