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.
No one has heard from her since, and she might have been killed, or killed herself rather than be captured. Or she may be imprisoned in permanent solitary confinement (see Princess, by Jean Sasson, for another instance of this).

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.
