Leaders from some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent companies, including Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook, condemned Donald Trump’s executive order blocking travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries. “On every level – moral, humanitarian, economic, logical, etc – this ban is wrong and completely antithetical to the principles of America,” he wrote on Twitter. “These actions will make America less safe (through hatred and loss of allies) rather than more safe,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “I’ve heard from many of you who are deeply concerned about the executive order issued yesterday restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. It is not a policy we support,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook in an email to employees, obtained by the Guardian.
