The argument over the semantics of the word cage is a pretty shitty distraction. I mean, can they leave? Are they not incarcerated? Incommunicato? Isn't that an extreme form of imprisonment? If not extreme it certainly seems pretty deranged. It is a trivial matter what the walls are or are not made from. Your attention is needed elsewhere.

And there's nothing wrong with trying to influence the behavior of the company you work for. If the company I worked for did something similarly disagreeable I'd feel like a pretty shitty person if I ignored it. .. but for a paycheck.

I'd say it's commendable so far but "Up in Arms" .. we'll see. If this is a valid angle of rejecting the behavior of your government then it's as good as any.
