> Free speech applies to the US. Last time I checked Crimea was in Russia.
Are you saying that you don't think that humans in other regions qualify for this basic human right, which happens to be codified in (among many other places around the world, including the UDHR) the 1st amendment to the US Constitution?
> US companies have to follow US law.
If US law is wrong, companies, like all other people, have an obligation to break it. Whether that's the case here, I'm not sure, but I think that Microsoft can certainly have made a lot more of a stink before just yanking this guy's page.
> I worked for a company that was fined because they still had employees working in Syria when the war started.
What war? The civil war? Are there US sanctions specific to the Syrian civil war?
