But those were different times, when companies could get away with militant operations. To say nothing of strike-breakers, African rubber plantations, or what-have-you. Most companies we know of (esp. American) can't get away with those sorts of things now, at least not in the public eye.
Soft power is the new militant occupation. Facebook is taking cues from Pablo Escobar (minus the violence, we hope).
