Mozilla and Twitter are US concerns. What is it their business how politics are conducted in other countries?

What’s the difference between Mozilla and United Fruit when it comes to political interference? They both were are agitating for their PoV and not concerned with local mores. They both have foreign agendas.

One could argue United fruit advanced agriculture and provided jobs whereas Mozilla gets involved but provides no jobs to locals. Yes United fruit engaged in bad behavior but Mozilla should not get a pass either for interfering in foreign affairs.

Absolutely no difference. Just imperialism recontextualized for a new century with new profits to be made.
