It absolutely does not. If you’re running a business you simply don’t refer to yourself as a “free speech absolutist” because it’s fucking stupid.
Companies operating in a country need to follow that countries laws, or they can’t operate in that country. Fact.
Then a “free speech absolutist” would stop operating in that country. Fact.

So you think the best way for a company to fight a government trying to eliminate free speech from their country is to……checks notes……remove their product that is used by millions from said country?
Not to take them to court to fight their attempts to stifle free speech, but to just……leave?

“Free speech absolutism” is not “the best way” to do a God damn thing. This has nothing to do with the “best way” to do anything. It’s about the owner being a pathological fucking liar.
