They really should do this, this is the right and honorable thing to do instead of interfering with local governments and deriding of government organizations by their CEO.
I don't even agree with what the Italian government did, but more companies need to do this instead of lobbying for or against laws. No one elected you. The loud voice and influence you wield because of success as a commercial entity does not entitle you a louder voice and power than the citizens of that country. Pull out, if the Italian people don't like the result, they can work on getting things changed. They didn't vote for @eastdakota
Same goes for apple, google, microsoft, signal, twitter, etc.. I fear what all these have in common is the parasitical oligarchy in the US where companies, CEOs and billionaires puppeting the government with the string for everyone to see (what will anyone do about it?), and it doesn't even register for a moment that there is anything abnormal or harmful about it.
In a democracy, the person who controls popular opinion is the ultimate ruler. That person is supposed to be other citizens as individuals.

(and if the Italians are worried about the olympics, just wait a month and then do it)
- zjsushsb 9mo ago> That person is supposed to be other citizens as individuals It’s been known since the ancient Greeks democracy results in oligarchy. It’s why the US was setup as a republic. Exercise to the reader why everyone thinks democracy is an unassailable good in the world.
