SAN JOSE — A few hundred people gathered outside the San Jose city hall on Saturday to show their support for Ukraine as Russia’s attack on the country intensifies. Event organizers thanked the tech industry for the steps its members have taken to help and called on more companies to join that effort.
Companies like Apple, Google, Intel, Meta and Twitter were all praised by speakers for the steps they have taken to reduce Russia’s access to important resources during this conflict. Some companies have restricted the ability to use ad platforms by Russia’s state-run media. Others have halted product sales or limited use of payment services.
Other protests around the Bay Area offered similar messages about the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. He has already been accused of war crimes in the past week after he ordered troops into Ukraine.
