Making speeches talk

excerpt from: ICT for democracy: supporting a global current of change

[...] I think it is high time for the industry to decide where they stand, and what they are going to do. If not as a moral issue, then as an issue of corporate reputation. Being known for selling despots the tools of their repression is, to say the least, bad PR.

The industry and the countries behind them. Many European countries were selling a considerable amount of weapons to Lybia and Tunisia, short before it was decided they were "bad" guys. Again: self-criticism is very needed, or you risk exposing EU as purely hypocrytal.
