Why are we asking this question of the Saudis and not, say, the Chinese?<p>Over the past few months there have been many issues of companies taking actions that seem to be based on appeasing the Chinese government.<p>Both are awful government&#x27;s actively committing crimes against humanity.

Who is &quot;we&quot;?<p>Recipients like getting money, obviously.<p>Non-recipients generally don&#x27;t have the power to interfere.<p>The US government has that power, but the US government is beholden to the Saudis&#x27; control over oil.

Well they are going to spend that money on <i>something</i>. Investing it in the US economy seems like just about the best place for it to go. I wish all fortunes held by dubious foreign entities just got sent to the American stock market.<p>Twitter is a public company, it seems pretty unlikely that Saudi investment and Saudi spies getting hired by Twitter are related.

I admit I have yet to read TFA but I can answer this quite easily.<p>We not only tolerate it, we welcome and solicit it with open arms. For the same reason we push industrial waste and exploitative labor to developing countries!

Because of missing ethics.<p>If you read this and you have enough power to influence something like this and don&#x27;t consider where your money comes from -&gt; fuck you.
