>It's in every large company's interests to maintain a steady stream of propaganda to show just how splendid they are at regulating themselves. Propaganda is right. Call me a cynic (because I am), but a significant portion of "effective" self-regulation is a self-interest spin on manipulating perception of efficacy. As long as you can spin your self-regulation to a point the outside mostly believes you, you can make compromises between what you should be doing and what you can get away with in the framework of profit seeking motives. Perhaps this is still more effective than external regulation? I'm skeptical.
