> adapt to local laws and culture instead of pretending that a couple of thousand of unelected dudes in Silicon Valley should have any say

I think we might both agree there's a line beyond which even you would abandon this view.

We may just disagree on where that line should exist.

If the Indian state was forcing Twitter to delete the profiles of anyone who is a homosexual, would you agree that Twitter should just adapt to local laws and not at least say something? Probably not, right?

We don't have to play pretend, there are countries like Saudi Arabia where that's already a thing. Turns out Twitter happily complies. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/blog/twitter-not-safe-saudi...

The only moral high ground I'm willing to accept is them leaving such a market, but that doesn't align with their pockets.
