It's everyone's responsibility.

  That's exactly my point. You can't expect people to behave, let alone corporations. You have to regulate them.

    My point is societal pressure doesn't have to end with laws. If a company wants to play the 'but-it-isnt-illegal' game, they should still be subject to suffering a rejection by the public, and as members of the public, we have a moral obligation to reject those companies.

      That would have worked if people did really act on "I don't consume from non-responsible company". But people pick cheapest, or nicest, or trendiest. They don't give a crap about the company practices.

      The problem is, society interacts with companies as consumers, not citizens. Markets optimize for price and convenience, not ethical business practices, and market forces speak louder than societal pressure. Unless Amazon does something to spark mass outrage on the scale of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, then society is going to be happy as long as they get their Kindles and Echos delivered on time.
