A conspiracy implies all of these companies .. conspired, rather than independently reaching a conclusion that supporting this fellow with their services was bad for their own business.
- tomp 8y agoHow could they “independently” reach the same conclusion at roughly the same time? I’m not saying they necessarily “conspired”, could be as simple as one CEO seeing the news and saying “that’s a good idea, we should do that too”, but the chances of these decisions being completely independent is almost zero.
- jsmeaton 8y agoEither it’s a conspiracy or it is not. If there are a bunch of people running down the street, and I see that they’re running from a fire, then I’m going to run too. That is not a conspiracy. The decision is independent even if the reason is shared. That’s not to say it’s just one big coincidence.
