What did US citizens do? And where is "there."?

I'd say an awful lot of things in many places, but parent is probably talking about the employees of Facebook in Pakistan.

So every nationality present at FB is guilty? The home country of every H1-B Visa holder is automatically guilty too right?

Or does it only matter where the company is head quartered?

The post you are quoting from is in a discussion thread about FB supporting governments in suppressing their people. FB is a US company.

The post is actually about BAE. I was responding to the question posed:

>">"Btw. are you a US citizen? Do you feel personally responsible for what your fellow citizens did there?

FB may be an American company but they recruit employees from countries around the world via H1B visas. The OPs suggestion that all Americans ares responsible for FB is completely ridiculous.
