To me it's not technology, it's how that technology is funded.

Social media technology? 100% political.

Well management technology? 100% a-political.

If your technology is based on funding from a group that has no spine whatsoever (e.g. 99% of ad purchasers out there), then your technology is at the whim of the latest angry tweet.

If your technology is based on funding from a group that is firmly rooted in reality, then nobody cares about politics because they're dealing with something much more important.
