Maybe I'm wrong but based on my experience if you are a company who is depending on end customers then you need to have a good reputation and a very strong and positive brand. Except your clients are totally dependent on your product with absolute zero alternative choice. Most military suppliers don't depend on private end customers so they can be successful without worrying about public opinion. I think Google is becoming more and more like companies Exxon Mobile or former giants like Malboro. People absolutely need their products so they can do whatever they want.
