They’re getting far more press than they ever would have had the capitulated like the other companies. Now they get to frame themselves as the “good guys”. They’ll end up doing (more of) the evil shit soon enough, but they just had a huge marketing coup. Smart play by one of the biggest grifters, bravo.

They pitch their product as ethical. Go ahead, ask it about Israel committing genocide in Gaza and see how much it’ll gaslight you.
Optics, that’s all they’re going for.

I imagine partly liability concerns, partly protecting their reputation.
Basically they don’t want their technology being used for something it’s not ready for, something going badly wrong, and them getting the blame.
