@GossiTheDog @brahms I'm seeing lots of folks, including you and me, reacting negatively to this. I guess you mean people inside companies that do business with the US government? Individuals without organization are very easy targets for regimes, and what they accomplish by individual action is outweighed by potential harm.
Let's say I work for a cybersecurity company that does business with the federal government. Now let's say I publicly protest the the treatment of Chris Krebs (which, btw, I personally have done, but I don't meet the first condition). I am fired for my actions. I have caused harm to my family and myself by my actions, and made no impact on the effective power of the regime. Perhaps I've satisfied some deontological imperative, but that's a whole other can of beans.
Organization precedes effective action. If you are concerned about performative protest, individual action without impact should fall into that category.
But all this is between other goalposts than the OP, which was about the corporate entities.
