I guess "quiet" is "Jeff Bezos bringing it up in an interview with reporters". Whereas "secretive" is "Google CEO confirms leaked documents are genuine in interview with reporters".

So "loud" must be buying ads in every TV slot, radio, and billboard so that nobody could possibly miss it.

I don't think it's fair to apply terms humans use to corporations.

Quietly my ass. Both are promoting it as a way to make an estate or corner of earth internet-connected, rather than just a single structure.

Its peace is fortunate, conflict is unfortunate. Pointing out that someone is wrong is unfortunate. The fact being states is unfortunate because it contradicts the above post, implying a conflict. This is a fairly common use of the word unfortunate.

Except that's not really what the law says (in the US, anyway).

Exactly, the law SCOTUS ruling associated with this claim says that just because people combine their resources under a corporation, you can't take away their first amendment rights.
