Eh. The Western business model is espousing a stance separable from genuine outrage towards a particular belief. It works. Everyone that matters gets that. The faux outrage here is only because Vice publicly espoused a stance, so its an article hoping for hypocrisy to be news. Vice didn't have business there for 3 years after they made that stance, did they ever say it would be permanent? It is an easy standard to rationalize compliance with. The Guardian asked for a comment and actually got it! Vice was available for comment! Vice didn't even know what the issue was and just responded with accuracy "We opened a commercial and creative office in Riyadh earlier this year", lol. The article could just as easily be fishing for controversy with the Chainsmokers for performing "in a regime that commits human rights abuses". A swing and a miss, Guardian!
