Everything you do is directly or indirectly part of politics. Your action and inaction both.

Not really. Perhaps for people that could be true, but not for businesses.

As a business, you absolutely don't have to declare your stand on the political issues in your country, let alone issues in some places half way across the world.

And especially declare your stand when you're not asked.

As a business, if you don't declare your stance on a political issue, you declare you agree with whatever the status quo is.

Hacking culture and politics are deeply entwined. Phreaking, for example, was a way to say no to AT&T monopoly.
