I believe the problem here is that we (humans) are terrible at dealing with systemic failures. It would seem we find it easy to accept that a small number of cases/people/situations are flawed, and that feels like something we can fix. But usually, when faced with a problem so large it is described as systemic we choose to ignore it and move on rather than face it and fix it. I.e. the problem just seems too big. That is why I think that even when we discover such a horrific problem as listed here there is no proportional public outcry. For example if someone is imprisoned in another's basement for 10 years we accept their right to sue the person who kept them imprisoned - even many years later. But when faced with systematic slavery we classify the problem as a systemic failure and move on, the idea of reparation seems crazy. Another example would be the crash of 2009, once the flaw was discovered (high risk debt rolled up into low risk securities) very few people accepted it was a problem to fix even when shown the facts; in part because 'everybody is doing it', what can we do. I.e. the problem was systemic not localised to a small group of people. Interestingly a lot of the same bad practises appear to be continuing and are often reported - but again, what to do, it's a failure in the system! And finally it's also like the story of the discovery of Yellowstone caldera - the scientists couldn't work out where exactly the volcano was in Yellowstone initially they didn't believe/realise it was in fact all of Yellowstone.
