So from the answers this post has gotten, it seems like LW is supportive of the ideas that:
1) Gates shouldn’t be linked to Epstein, and that his infidelity is a separate issue from Epsteins Abuses;
2) any ‘taint’ from that association that might remain should be confined to Gates himself, so that an ‘air gap’ of sorts should insulate Microsoft and it’s employees and customers from being reputationally and/or financially effected;
3) the reason for this ‘air gap’ is about separating the interpersonal issues involved from all the other issues over the decades (ethics of mass marketing and mass production, accusations of anti-trust issues, business issues of helping operations “streamline” by getting rid of workers who’s jobs are now done by computers or were shipped over seas, financial issues and links to government contracts (Jedi) despite the belief by some that ‘Big Tech’ is censoring important voices in Government, etc.)
4) and the impracticality of dividing up responsibility for the rest of the unethical activities mentioned above—minus the interpersonal issues—amongst the persons and institutes on the other side of the ‘air gap.’
As a result of these ideas, no further action is needed to acknowledge the ongoing conflicts between Bill, Melinda, the anonymous persons providing the details of the scandal, and Microsoft and it’s employees and customers.
