    I’m curious what issue you see with that? It seems like the project is only accepting unrestricted donations, but is there something suspicious about shopify that makes it’s involvement concerning (I don’t know much about them)?

      My best guess would be that Shopify either care about the open Web or had some disagreements with Google.

      I can’t find anything shady on them, but maybe I’m looking the wrong places.

          While controversial, I think it’s more a product of how insane US “politics” are.

          They could be good guys even so.

        My guess is they just want a high value backlink for their SEO performance 😉

        They fired a lot of people and replaced them with AI: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/04/how-shopify-bungled-its-latest-layoffs-and-made-employees-feel-like-npcs/
