>Do they have a choice?

Yes, they absolutely have a choice. People can choose to not assist with transgressions against human rights in the year 2026 :)

Meta is not people, it's a publicly traded company that's practically legally required to make money and grow infinitely.

You however, as people, can choose not to patronize a Meta that assists with transgressions against human rights.

Has a company ever faced any sort of legal repercussions for sacrificing profit for moral reasons? That isn't rhetorical. I'm not aware of this ever happening, so I'm dubious of your claim.

Meta is a legal person in almost all jurisdictions it operates within

It is also operated by human individuals as employees and c-suite

And companies are legal fiction. Meta doesn't remove a post, a person does. Or maybe some software built by a person.

A person from a government told a person at Meta to block it, and that person did (probably by telling yet more people to do it).
