It's weird that we have so many people directing their protests towards the tech companies, and not the government itself. The whole premise of capitalism is that profit-motivated-corporations will inevitably succumb to evil temptations. That it's the government's job to regulate corporations, and police their moral behavior.
Instead, we have the complete opposite. Americans expect the government/military to engage in morally unacceptable behavior, and are looking to corporations to "enforce" morality instead, by denying the government specific services.
Not that there is anything wrong with tech companies and workers doing their part. But when we see corporations as the best catalyst for pro-social outcomes, and not the government itself, there's something very wrong with our political system.
