Yes. I said I won't boycott / stop buying over something like this. We're agreed as to why it's offensive. There's no reason to beat a dead horse. A question is what's an effective change tactic. Simply lashing out is not an effective tactic; that's what toddlers to, and it rarely achieves the desired result. If I don't like morality police in Iran, I can: 1. Completely isolate Iran. That's the most aggressive tactic, and very much a "tough on Iran" stance. It also almost guarantees no change will happen (see Afghanistan today). 2. Engage with Iran. This gives room for dialogue. That's a lot more likely to be effective, especially if I've taken time to engage and build trust first. 3. *Strategically* apply pressure. I've had a lot of luck with this as well. There are many others. The boycott tactic is a tough tactic, but I don't see it working towards the results I want. If RPi believes surveillance is right, but leads to a sales backlash, the most that can achieve is being more quiet about it. To me, that's the worst possible outcome. At the same time, other companies will learn that speaking their views openly is dangerous. That has a lot more cascading effects I don't like.
