The argument that if they don't do it another one will do it is constantly used to justify unethical things. It just shows that money is more important than compromising one's values.
- chii 6y agoI'm gonna play the devils advocate, and say that money _is_ more important than morals. And it's because americans have a lot of money (collectively) that they can enjoy having high morals. So i don't disagree that zoom is lacking in morals, but i also have to agree with what they did - for it is the only course of action that leads to them "winning" economically.
- twodave 6y agoNot picking a side on Zoom, but the idea that people in poorer countries can’t restrain their impulses to a high degree is preposterous bordering on insulting. The US doesn’t censor based on a moral compass, either. They censor based on an idea of (extremely) basic decency that actually permits a lot of immorality.
- reaperducer 6y agoit's because americans have a lot of money (collectively) that they can enjoy having high morals History disagrees with you. America was founded by people with high morals and no money.
- chii 6y ago> America was founded by people with high morals and no money. so slavery is high morals? There's some rose tinted glasses when looking thru history.
- anewdirection 6y agoSlavery was not insturmental to the founding, nor was it the norm. Go reimagine history wit your personal bias somewhere else.
