You are right, no western agent is being obliged here..
The argument is a neutrality one, essentially that Google and Apple should not be enforcing morality here or abroad.
Should we also just drop sanctions and ban exports to these nations while we're at it?
- tcgv 8y agoI was pointing out that the argument of sovereignty is flawed, since companies such as Apple and Google can at any time choose to respectfully withdraw their operations in Saudi Arabia if they feel their products and services are being used to curtail human rights. Sovereignty in its own right cannot be used to justify complacency.
- lobotryas 8y agoNo, they can’t “just withdraw” without a compelling business reason because their leadership answers to their shareholders.
