Your point of view might have some merit to it if there a basis in fact.
Do you dispute the author's claim "On Wednesday night [March 2], Spotify announced that it is closing its Moscow office"?
- imgabe 5y agoDo you think Putin is going to care that Spotify closed the office if they're defying his censorship laws? The (former) employees are still going to be in Russia. They're still going to be associated with Spotify and subject to arrest. This not a normal legal system where you can prove to someone in a court that you no longer worked at the company and they're going to consider the merits of your argument. Putin will want to punish someone for Spotify defying his censorship order and he'll reach out and punish whoever is available to make an example, regardless of whether they are responsible.
- rendall 5y agoIt's your contention that Spotify's decisions have been driven by concern for their ex-employees in Moscow?
