Information and Economic warfare should be seen as no different than physical warfare with weapons. (That is the crux of 4G and 5G warfare as is officially acknowledged in militaries today)
Google & Apple provide asymmetrical resources to 1 group (Pakistani Govt.) over the other (Ahmidiyas). This is no different than the US selling weapons only to the Saudis but not to Yemen.
The Saudi situation is clearly seen by everyone as morally deplorable. However, Google and Apple aren't subjected to any scrutiny.
I don't expect profit oriented companies to have any morals. However, Tech companies have spent an entire years of marketing expenses towards virtue signalling and claiming to be the ones who uphold morals. They have dug their own graves, now they must lie in it. They will deserve every twitter and internal storm created by a fresh scandal.
If McKinsey had blood on its hands for causing the Opioid epidemic, then so do Google and Apple for the persecution of the Ahmediyas. (Note: Ahmediyas are the only strictly peaceful sect of Islam. They are not militant insurrectionists or actively traitorous in a manner that would warrant violent reaction)
