So you think the best way for a company to fight a government trying to eliminate free speech from their country is to…..checks notes…..remove their product that is used by millions from said country?
Not to take them to court to fight their attempts to stifle free speech, but to just……leave?
"Free speech absolutism" is not "the best way" to do a God damn thing. This has nothing to do with the "best way" to do anything. It's about the owner being a pathological fucking liar.
You said a free speech absolutist would stop operating in that country. I’m asking if you think that’s what they should have done here.
