> the judges and authorities and experts in Venezuela supported Maduro

If those were generally thought to be independent (as judged by other institutions e.g. internationally... there is no final arbiter here! It's turtles all the way down) then that would make a big difference. But they aren't.

This is a pretty easy thing to see subjectively. I think the mistake here is believing that

a) There could be a rigid objective framework for how this should work. A simple "manual" for how companies should act in these situations instead of having to rely on subjective or biased decisions.

or

b) In the absence of such a framework, companies must instead never take any action because it risks being arbitrary/subjective/...

That's clearly not going to happen. a) isn't possible yet b) is absolutely not desireable.
