What's moral or not isn't static. Plenty of people believe the suppression of speech is morally wrong. Your distinction between what is morally wrong and what is Socially unacceptable is unclear.
Of course companies don't have the ability to directly change laws in sovereign countries but they can definitely influence them, just like people in mass can.
Whether or not this will have any effect on China I lean towards absolutely not but at the very least some people at these companies don't want to help them.
- badrabbit 8y agoI should have clarified then,I meant morally wrong according to the the moral views of the person claiming wrong was done. If I argue Google is wrong for moral reasons then I need to argue as to why my standard of morality is accurate and applies to Google. For your second point,companies do influence policies but they have no right to force a policy. For example,Google can say "we're pulling out of country X because they don't have this policy" that's arm twisting and in disregard to the sovreignity of the country and its people. Google isn't irreplacable in China,Alibaba+tencent compete with them heavily anyways.
