There are some protests in Australia a few weeks ago to let a Saudi woman in http://time.com/5498790/australia-topless-protest-saudi-runaway/ http://time.com/5498790/australia-topless-protest-saudi-runa... There's the more minor controversy of people criticising Mariah Carey for having a concert there https://spy.nzherald.co.nz/celebrity/mariah-carey-slammed-for-saudi-arabia-performance/ https://spy.nzherald.co.nz/celebrity/mariah-carey-slammed-fo... But the bulk of the work for Saudi Arabia is being done by Saudi activists (which is unsurprising) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-driving-ban.amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/worl... I think the reason there aren't more is that protests are pretty much always about a local issue (which is true of all protests, it's why HN cares a lot about privacy in the US and EU but doesn't agitate as much about it in places like the Middle East or China). I think you're confusing lack of large scale protests and thinking it's okay, to use HN userbase as an example I know people who have protested various US privacy laws who haven't been to a protest about the Great Firewall. That clearly doesn't mean they don't think it's a human rights issue.
