> “bad actors", but wouldn't want to work for Google or Apple

- Everyone who doesn’t like US hegemony. Which happens about everywhere but US, in varied proportion, but even in Europe, and even worse in Middle-East,

- Everyone who doesn’t like monopolies. Capitalism of competition (as opposed to state capitalism, when the state borrows a trillion per semester, ahem) requires that monopolies be broken down to avoid distortion of competition. Helping bad actors can be, under their viewpoint, less bad than the damage done to a billion consumers consumers at a time. Plus monopolies impose a monoculture of occidentalism, with certain values that a firm in Egypt might consider worse than sponsoring bad actors.
