> It's better to stick to local rules than getting a clique in silicon valley to decide

My point was that I'd prefer companies to stick to their principles, and if that means they can't do business in certain countries, so be it. Saying that you'll follow local rules if that means abuse of human rights is not something I agree with. In this context 'human rights' is used as a personal definition rather than some sort of legal one, as local rules allow abuse in some places.

Again, what is your solution then? They stick to their principles this means one less method of dissent is available in that country.

I’m not sure what you want me to say, my position seems pretty clear.

Do you believe it’s a win for human rights to allow dissent whilst also helping governments identify dissenters?

[tekknik]

No, but you seem too

I don’t. I’m completely baffled by this thread and suspect we agree with each other but can’t see where the misunderstanding has occurred.
