“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can’t find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can’t muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren’t businesses making tough choices – they’re paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

      You’re right, there are people who think corporations have morals, or that Donald Trump was sent by God to save us, or that the Earth is flat. That doesn’t create a standard that praising such articles is the Right Thing and criticizing them is the Wrong Thing.
