Yes, and all of those are decisions you can go along with or reject. Deciding how big an organization you will join is one of many ways you apply your ethics.

- Retric 7y agoThat’s another issue. As an organization is viewed as less ethical, only less ethical people join creating a downward spiral.
- chongli 7y agoHopefully the unethical organization develops a reputation for being unethical. Then only unethical people will patronize said organization. Ideally, unethical behaviour leads to marginalization, though obviously that does not always happen in practice.
- simonh 7y agoSamsung are a strong counter-example. They're been caught red handed doing all sorts of truly nasty stuff. Pretty much anything Apple has even been suggested as doing, they've been enthusiastically up to their eyeballs in and a lot more, but they seem to just shrug off the negative press like water off a duck's back. I think once a company develops a reputation like that, most people just get desensitised to it. Also there is a degree to which lower cost products get a pass, because hey, they must be cutting corners somewhere.
- giantsloth 7y agoIt’s quite clear that you are indulging in the fantasy of the free market correcting itself by the patrons dollar. This rarely plays out in reality. It even more rarely plays out when certain corporations have hegemonic control of technology, culture and the body politic.
