[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago* (1 child) Microsoft declines to comment More like 'Microsoft approves of this imagery' Silence is consent, be it from approval or cowardice, the outcome is the same. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (2 children) I understand your outrage but silence is not consent. It is fear. Apply that phrase to any other situation where consent is required and that would be considered victim blaming. Now M$ COULD be fine with this, we truly don't know, but they could also be afraid of how the administration would retaliate against them if they spoke up. I do agree with you when you say these companies are cowardly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 child) Lol, they willingly work with this fascist regime and others around the globe. Their silence is implicit consent, because a multi billion dollar company doesn't get to cry fear in the face of the governments they willingly work with. Stop defending corpos, they'll gladly sell you to the government and tell your family they're suuuuuper sorry you got nabbed but there's nothing they can do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago They provided some insight to why they think MS didn't comment. Then agreed with you. I don't think they were defending MS. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago long past the point of continuing to extend the courtesy they constantly deny everyone else permalink fedilink source parent
