You have the right to advocate for these people. You do not have the right to use the tech industry as your personal tool for doing so or to shame people who have other priorities.
But again, these two things are connected. IBM is in the tech industry, wouldn't you say? It had ties with the Nazi regime during the Holocaust [0], taking advantage of the crimes of Germany for profit. There were many companies at the time which did so.
Your work is directly linked with exploitation and oppression of people around the world, in almost every industry. The tech industry is directly linked to child slavery in the Congo, mining Cobalt for hardware. And tech players have a big role in worker's rights in the US too, think about Uber drivers. There's every reason why tech workers should use their united power to do something about these issues.
Everything is connected. Society is a fabric. You're not going to win me over to your side by talking constantly about how we're all guilty because we're all connected or nonsense like that. The tech industry and the people working in it have no special responsibility to work toward social causes and I'm going to oppose any attempts to hijack it.
