That's what makes me a bit cynical about this situation. Maybe it's a "one straw that broke the camel's back" event, but Silicon Valley didn't say shit and gladly accepted Saudi money during the last 3 years when the Saudi government was bombing Yemeni civilians. There's a good portion of the current attitude towards Saudi Arabia that's a PR image play rather than actually giving a shit about whatever the Saudis do to other people in their corner of the world.
