So let's handle moderation in... let's say Saudi-Arabia, by having them silence LGBT and women's rights advocates? And who is responsible for Saudi-Arabian citizens in exile? Saudi-Arabia?

- pjc50 6y agoThis is one of those "only winning move is not to play the game" situations; if you're marketing a product - almost any product - into a repressive regime it'll end up being associated with repressive acts. Hence the boycott of South Africa. There was a brief window in which Twitter was allowed to spread dissent pretty freely in the Arab world. I've no idea what that looks like now.
