Shouldn't it bring about a demand to change laws if that's what the people want, rather than trying to hide from authorities? Not suggesting that everybody should not be doing the latter at any and all opportunity, mind you.
"Tech companies" will not save you. They may act like they are sticking their neck out , but it's all just calculated to a cost/benefit. Ask the Uyghurs and Yemenis how bravely these vaunted companies that do business in China and Saudi have been standing up for their rights. How many companies were waving the rainbow flag in the 1980s?
Corporations act the way they do not because they are leaders in human rights, it's because of the attitudes of the people in the societies they operate in. You are forcing them to act in a particular way. They are not the leaders, you are. They are followers. Don't let them try to take credit or fool you into thinking they are leading these movements or that you owe them anything or need them to bring about further change.
