Well, again as I stated previously - it is hypocritical and these companies and states should be held accountable. If someone feeds the soil for the next dictator to grow and then all of a sudden there is a political crisis involving said dictator aren't you directly responsible for such crisis?
> these companies and states should be held accountable.
Hold the companies accountable... okay sure. I'll write some letters to my elected officials and federal prosecutors about holding Apple and Google accountable. Just one thing... which laws were they breaking? Or do you propose consumer boycotts of both Google and Apple? If your plan is for everybody to give up their smartphones, your plan is DOA.
Hold the states accountable... What does it mean to hold a sovereign state accountable? Are you going to bend the US Government itself over your knee and spank it? I don't think so. What exactly do you mean by holding the state itself accountable?
