Yes.

But if you chose to move to a horrible, evil country, then you cannot blame its awfulness on your phone.

Your points here are quite shocking. You've no idea how or why the author of the blog post ended up in the country they were in in the position they were in; it's not stated in the blog post or here in the author's comments in this discussion.

This apparent need to push the discussion away from the issue being presented and instead engage in some moral grandstanding on an irrelevant point comes across as suspect.

If you were presented with an example of a walled garden causing distress to someone in a nice, white Western country, you'd presumably rush forward with your sympathy, would you?

Your comprehension here is quite shocking.

You seem unable to parse my statement "Sympathy will be limited when that country is also a repressive dictatorship, if you have gone there of your own accord."

You seem unable to comprehend that the OP complained about some policy choices of his phone's provider, when what actually "can kill" here is the health service of the evil, oppressive country he lives in.

This apparent need to push the discussion away from the issue being presented and instead try and make it a race issue comes across as you being a demented defender of a disgusting regime.

Suspect indeed.
