Perhaps they mean "I don't want to get into the specific politics, I'd prefer to discuss the generic position from big tech that they help governments suppress news of human rights violations".

In other words, "should big tech do things like this"

Rather than "{thing X} is wrong and big tech is suppressing news of that exact thing. Let's talk about whether thing X is really wrong, or whether it's really newsworthy"

>"should big tech do things like this"

If they want more money, the answer is yes.

If they have a moral and ethical code which values freedom of expression as a human right, then the answer is no.
