Recently, big tech, FB, Google, Netflix, Visa, Mastercard and so many others stepped in and banned the russian state media, affiliated channels, their payment cards etc Twitter, FB, Youtube are also actively suppressing russian media from search results. Gpay, venmo, visa stopped working. Play store is not letting RT and sputnik apps to work/download.
Now, I know all of you are very emotional right now and support this behavior against russia. Please try to keep thay aside for a second.
But for a second imagine that instead of Russia this was a friend of US lets say UK invading a small country, would big tech do this to UK? That small country can be yemen, libya or Iraq.
We are mostly tech workers here and I want to get a sense from folks if they support this universally?
Disclaimer: All my thoughts and prayers are with people of ukraine and I support the cause. But this censoring is not going to help them and sets a wrong precedent for future cases so my concern. Please dont take it the wrong way.
