I still can't quite follow. What have Google, Amazon and the FTC got to do with big tobacco? It seems to me that you're on a crusade against big corporations, regardless of what they are doing (tobacco, cars, search services or book sales) and you think they are bad just because they are big.

You can't follow the topic of the thread because it diverged two inches off topic? Let me spell it out for you. 1. I quoted a part of the article saying how pathetic that the FTC is for only attacking Accidental app purchases by kids. I claim it's pathetic because many corporations have committed crimes that are worse up to and including murder. Please note that nowhere did I say corporations are bad because they are big. 2. Then someone said my comment was too extreme. 3. Then I used an example, citing other corporations and murder as an example to prove my point. 4. You claim you're too stupid to follow the thread because if I'm not talking about google or amazon then I'm "off topic." You also claim that I think corporations are bad because they are big when I clearly never said anything of the sort. I'm saying some of the biggest crimes corporations committed involve murder and that the FTC only taking care of accidental app purchases by kids is rather pathetic. Get it smart ass?
