| If Meta operates in Saudi Arabia and UAE, shouldn't they follow their laws? |

| I don't think someone accessing content on US servers run by a US company counts as "operating in" any country other than the US. But Meta is an international company, so maybe they have servers/staff in Saudi Arabia, in which case their only options are to leave the country or comply. |

| If it’s legal to eat babies in a country, does it make it morally ok to do it too while visiting? |

| ▲ | yndoendo 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Meta / Facebook would happily sell advertising for baby eat restaurants and cook books. It is about profit not morality nor even being a good human being. Need to maximum profits for the share holders. Modern day large scale companies follow the Friedman doctrine, not human decency. [0]. They need that fix of infinite growth, which by doing so become cancerous to society. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine | |

| ▲ | aurareturn 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Meta should exit the US too because the US does {x} that I don't agree with. But Meta doesn't have a moral compass. | | |

| ▲ | aurareturn 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I agree it can be a real argument. The question is, who determines whether Meta should exit the US? Is it @ornornor? Hacker News? The Guardian? Europeans? Saudis? If it's any of the above, I think Meta would have needed to exit the US market a while ago. ;) |
