For country leadership there are still elections, while flawed, in the U.S.
Over Google the people don't have much of a say. (The country can create legislation to steer it in a direction etc.)

- zpeti 3y agoPeople underestimate how responsive companies are to feedback, especially from customers, much much more responsive than governments. And again, you can switch jobs much easier than countries. The entire current censorship issues are because of a small group of very organised people who want to enforce their worldview on the world. It's not views held by the majority, but companies still comply as they'd rather do that than fight. But have a look at what happened to Bud light, they are in serious trouble because of one advertising deal. They changed their tune extremely quickly. This doesn't really happen with governments.

Whether or not these corporations are pro or anti LGBT depends on which way the wind is blowing today. It’s not fundamental to their business, so they don’t deeply care about your opinions on the matter. Try talking about something more fundamental, like labor rights, and you’ll quickly see the difference.
