A princess from Dubai planned for seven years how to escape her life of captivity. The plan almost succeeded, but commandos grabbed her from a yacht when she had almost reached India. One must suppose that the commandos were sent by her father, the emir.

That an executive alters a company's policy for ethical reasons does not seem fundamentally wrong to me. I reject the perverse idea that a company must put its own profits above any idea of right and wrong. Indeed, it was only in the 1980s that US plutocrats started effectively promoting that idea.

However, I think it is a crying shame that Sandberg's conscience pushed censorship on the internet and made life more dangerous for sex workers.
