| It is absolutely fair to continue to point out his ongoing hypocrisy. “If we have a choice of either our people go to prison or we comply with the laws, we will comply with the laws.” in 2023. Here he is on Brazil just a few months ago [1]: “We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to in Brazil. As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.” If we have to risk employees going to jail, then we will follow the law. We risk employees going to jail, so we will ignore the law on principle. Literal opposites. He is just a free speech opportunist who realized that you can say “free speech” to get people to overlook your selfish goals and get the benefit of the doubt when you deserve strict scrutiny.
