The main mistake is that you compare, emotionally at least, Apple to an institute. But it's not, it's a commercial company. "We" never had or should have had any trust in commercial companies - maybe besides small ones as someone else noted here.
The problem is that as a society we allowed a few commercial companies to become such an inherent part of our lives.
- devin 6y agoThe size of the company doesn’t matter. Small companies are not inherently less evil. You can have a company with no VC backing or shareholders and screw over your customers at every turn. The idea that the size of the organization is directly related to whether or not it is worth trusting is ridiculous. Just because I don’t know everyone at a hospital doesn’t mean they aren’t worth trusting.
