I find it hypocritical that when big companies insert themselves in to the business of customers that people don't like everyone is totally fine with it. There's been countless articles about big companies of all ilk dumping customers based upon "social justice" reasonings. Effectively denying these places access to the internet. And people are fine with it because they don't like what some of these places do. Yes I agree these customers that have been kicked off cloudflare and namecheap or when Amazon arbitrarily bans someone and shuts down all their smart devices the reasons they give seem reasonable because we don't want racist bigoted people in our world.
All of a sudden we are told that we must blindly support the Ukraine war. I have no comment on whether it's just or unjust I think the ukrainians have the duty to defend themselves from an aggressor but that does not mean that everyone in the world must assist the ukrainians in this. That doesn't mean that I automatically must support the United States supporting the ukrainians in their defense.
It's a massive level of hypocrisy saying that cloudflare can kick off a bigoted hate group that has taken no actions other than posting words online but Elon musk is not allowed to say I don't want you to use my network to wage war. Which is it our big companies allowed to insert themselves into social issues or not? Because if your answer is it depends on the issue then you are a hypocrite.
