    How come she never asked this CEO about violating the trust of his customers? All those people he emailed he got their information from them downloading his app in the Google Playstore, Google is fine with Apps taking customer information without informed consent then repurposing it for political reasons? He stole their data as far as I’m concerned. Who gave him permission to do that? Tech ALWAYS abuses our personal information.

    This issue is about privacy and Tech CEOs like this who gobble up personal information of their customers, they then begin repurposing to push their personal agenda on others. No where in his EULA does it say they can use customer information for their personal purposes and to push their politics.

    What other ways is he irresponsibly using his customers data?

    Maybe there is some small print in their privacy policy that allows using information given for business purposes to promote the personal political preferences of the owner…maybe. For sure it’s not ethical. Stand up against the abuses of the socialists

    Yes by all means, if you are for higher taxes, socialism, higher gas prices, an economy drop from closed businesses, and if you would like radical left Kamala Harris as president cause Biden will be put in basement with the 25th amendment. Then yes vote for Biden. I am personally voting for Trump who is a businessman who brought us best economy lowest unemployment rates and fighting Covid 19 in record breaking time!

    I just did my last expense report with Expensify. Back to Excel!!!! This problem with this guy doing this is that there are plenty of other options for his customers. He will probably lose more than half his customers over this and I cant wait to hear him blame Trump.

      I think this election will show its more like 40/60. A lot of democrats are switching sides and a lot of people who didn’t vote in the last election are coming out to vote for Trump this time.

    I absolutely agree with free speech but using people’s emails, that they gave you in good faith solely for business, for political things is a bit smarmy.

    #CancelExpensify This idiot thinks he’s a hero, but he is an arrogant asshole. He sent an inappropriate email to 10 million client’s work emails. You don’t talk about politics in work. Also, he used private client information to spam them with an email; this is a violation of trust and privacy. Expensify is suppose to provide a service, not spam you with an email that says your political view is wrong unless you vote for Joe Biden. Does this guy know anything about business? Also, the people who support this CEO are so hypocritical. Remember when CEO of Goya endorsed Trump, and they tried to cancel Goya, but “oooh noooo Expensify did the right thing here” Goya CEO didn’t use customer’s emails to spam them with an inappropriate message. We live in a stupid world with stupid people.

    What a dumbass move. He should be fired now!! Just going by polling numbers you know you’ve just alienated half of your customer base. Fine, half thinks your great and keeps doing business with you. The other half drops you like a lead ball. Is it worth gambling your customer base to support your flawed thinking. Biden is a crook dude. Look it up.

    Notice how corporate America especially on the pacific side has been intimidating everyone even at the cost of losing business. Businesses should just do business, and no politics should take place. Otherwise business is a platform for political battles. Just let people decide and stop intimidating clients AND employees!!

    The only people suppressing Our country our men like Expensify’s CEO who is an idiot and I was in the military for 28 years he better hope there’s no Civil War because if there is trust me the liberals will definitely lose I need to stop saying things like that and he needs to step down because Trump is not threatening or suppressing any more people like The CEO of expensify Are the kind of people that are cult leaders his business and his entire thought process is to be stopped immediately I have voted for a Democrat and Republican every single presidential candidate a candidate that will potentially be a United States president and all of them are to be respected when you start doing things like the CEO is doing you are going against the fiber of this nation you don’t believe in this country if you’re him you don’t think anything of his freedoms all you want to do is threaten suppress people and that’s the kind of thing a cult does Any and everything that you have done means nothing if you try to be civil war believe in this country at all because a civil war will be end of our country. There are real enemies at our gates not fake ones made up by fake news trust me Watch there’s a Civil War First people that will come will B al Quada Oh will push the Taliban who will also bring Isis And they will start small skirmishes which will bring in a larger military like China or Russia and we will lose this country because of a Civil War trust me we are not the most powerful country in the world if we try to tear each other apart all of you people need to stop criticizing all the candidates We are the greatest country in the world but if you leave it up to liberals we will not be we will not even exist with people thought processes like this guy I’m a 28 year Navy veteran and I’m ashamed of people like him I wanna do is destroy our country and if you give them the rope they will succeed

      They lie and say that securing our elections is “voter suppression” because they want to have holes through which they can rig elections.

      Typical Marxist tactic, accuse the other side of doing what you’re doing to try and misdirect attention from yourself.

    I wonder how they’ll handle in kind campaign donation allegations, Can-span violations, GDPR(using EU citizens emails for pushing politics).

    Then consider this guy had no problem using his clients information to push his beliefs. I wonder what he would be willing to do with their private finicial expense related info(bank acct#s, creditcards, receipts, etc. ) to a company that he didn’t feel aligned politically with his beliefs.
