- makomk 10y agoYeah, and very little has changed since then. If I remember correctly, Nestle's response to the baby milk controversy is held up as a example of how companies can tackle PR issues by involving themselves heavily in setting rules for their own industry, simultaneously making sure that the new rules don't actually obstruct them whilst looking like they're doing something about the problem. This is often seen as a positive example to imitate by utter scumbags.

- roflchoppa 10y agofree app idea, called dirt, which bring up controversy about companies, so when you buy something, at least you can see where your dollar/peso/yen/euro is going. Various plug in options would be cool too, if you are browsing online, it finds dirt for you based on all the ads you get. *edit - wow since the 80's? Still they dont change their business tactics, what a shame, they had 30 years to stop this crap.
- Practicality 10y agoHmm, I am might make that actually. That sounds like a fun project.
