Of course they did. All of these companies are against anything that challenges them.

Challenging them is one thing. Disrupting the CEO's public speech is another. I think almost every company would fire any employee who did that for any reason.

I think we all need to remember that no CEO’s speech is more important that stopping human rights violations. Imagine if we had to wait until Hitler was done speaking to do anything

I guess very few PR departments would agree with you

Seriously who cares about what a PR department thinks. Their job is literally to lie and manipulate people.

[–] INeedMana@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not about caring. It's about what gets done

It's about psychological manipulation. PR is really just propaganda renamed and repackaged. I don't believe they should be able to practice what they do at all.

If their craft was allowed they should be held to a high standard with a stringent set of ethics backed up by laws.
