I am just bothered by the idea that the common folk have to explicitly police these corporations to do the right thing. This kind of justice allows people to risk bad policies just because they might, on the off-chance, get away.
- rbritton 7y agoI think that's only one aspect of the current arrangement. At one of the extremes is the rise of the cancel culture. A subset of people have learned that if they complain loud enough, even in small numbers, corporations will bow to almost any demand. These corporations seem completely devoid of any kind of rational arbiter for such decisions and are purely reactionary.
- Aloha 7y agoIn this case, its us telling the corporation that we don't think they have liability for a guy reselling their product. Liability is used as a boogyman in corporate american to squash all sorts of good and bad ideas.
- socalnate1 7y agoUnfortunately it's a very real boogeyman in the US. "The U.S. has the highest liability costs as a percentage of GDP of the countries surveyed, with liability costs at 2.6 times the average level of the Eurozone economies" https://www.instituteforlegalreform.com/uploads/sites/1/ILR_NERA_Study_International_Liability_Costs-update.pdf https://www.instituteforlegalreform.com/uploads/sites/1/ILR_...
