This is not true. It's trivial to find probably two orders of magnitude more complaints about those larger companies on this site than the two or three days of Github bashing. It's also trivial to find hundreds of posts in threads saying "Everybody starts screaming when [Google/Apple/Facebook/the Government] does something like this, but people just let [Google/Apple/Facebook/the Government] get away with doing far worse."
When you do this, what you're doing is trying to shut down debate.
