Why do we expect tech companies to stand up to the people in charge of the countries where they operate? Is it because we hope and think that tech companies are somehow a new UN of sorts and we get disappointed when they don't live up to their ideals? I think part of it is that we've all bought into these companies PR departments' promulgation of values and core beliefs. Not realizing that those statements are little more than the ad campaigns that help them sell the most widgets and get the most engagement and hire the most idealistic employees. How many extra hours a week would you work for the company that professes to "share" your values?
