Clearest difference I can see is:

  • people who act more in the interest of society and less in the interest of those in power get arrested
  • people who help those in power tighten the leash on society (fuckerberg, muskrat, etc) get courted and don't ever face consequences

In other words: A high profile person in tech being threatened with arrest / being arrested by western countries is a pretty good sign that they were not cooperating with our totalitarian overlords & providing us with ways to preserve our privacy.
