Tech companies have largely avoided the topic of gun control in the United States, but they have previously pushed for progressive stances on other hot-topic issues, ranging from climate change to same-sex marriage and comprehensive immigration reform. At least three major chief executives took up gun control after the shooting. #NeverAgain”Sundar Pichai and Susan Wojcicki, the CEOs of Google and YouTube respectively, also issued statements on Tuesday while avoiding the topic of gun control. "There are no words to describe how horrible it was to have an active shooter @YouTube today," Wojcicki said. Other tech leaders expressed sympathy for the employees of YouTube on social media on Tuesday without referencing gun control.
