Clearest difference I can see is:

people who act more in the interest of society and less in the interest of those in power get arrested
people who help those in power tighten the leash on society (fuckerberg, muskrat, etc) get courted and don't ever face consequences

In other words: A high profile person in tech being threatened with arrest / being arrested by western countries is a pretty good sign that they were not cooperating with our totalitarian overlords & providing us with ways to preserve our privacy.
