Uber Twitter page: https://twitter.com/Uber Uber Saudi Arabia Twitter page: https://twitter.com/uber_ksa?lang=en You can see this with all the tech companies, just google their name following by saudi arabia or middle east. How come they say pride month on all the US pages, but not on their middle eastern pages? What’s worse is they’ll always tell US to “do better” but forget to remind the middle east and China?
Market localization, very normal
I thought these companies considered these things as fundamental human rights?
Be a Roman in Rome
It is pride month only in the US
Same thing with how nba refused to play all star in Carolina regarding lgbtq bill but they went to play in uae where being lgbtq…is not very pleasant
Like how NBA players whine and moan about BLM looting when they play in US but don't give a shit about Uighur Muslims when they play in China?
Because US don't punish them for being involved in politics.
Well it's a matter of perspective, isn't it? To the middle Easterners these LGBT posts probably look like empty corporate propaganda spouted by companies just to adhere to western cultural expectations, demonstrating the degeneracy of the west. To us, the lack of ME posts are exactly the same: adhering to the local social and cultural milieu, demonstrating the degeneracy of the middle east. In the end, what we can all agree on are that companies are full of shit.
I'd call it virtue signaling, but I don't see any "virtue" here. Normal people don't display their sexuality in business setting. I think even hanging a swimsuit calendar in your office or cubicle can be considered inappropriate by some. And yet every perv is encouraged to advertise his sickness everywhere. Why?
Are you calling gay people pervs with a sickness?
Because they made mental illness a virtue to be proud of and parade everywhere. Today many teenagers and even older people describe themselves by all the mental issues they have instead of by their achievements
Corporations will follow human rights ideas as long as that comes to larger revenue only. Supporting LBGT is Middle East obviously leads to loss of revenue.
Try putting LGBT in Middle East, and Uber will lose their market share immediately.

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
It is plain virtue signaling, they know that some parts of the world / cultures don't want that propaganda and won't allow it either.
