Everybody knows that. You can think it's a bad thing for a private company to do bad things, even if they're free to. Stating a fact isn't an argument.

- izacus 6y agoI think the comment flies more in the wierd way Google is treated by the media when other corpos aren't. E.g. noone is batting an eye when Apple chooses cherry-picked based datapoints for their performance comparisons or when Stanfords research department spins a paper to get them more funding. For Google we keep getting this streams of "Google is acting like any other corporation, OH GODS". It's... wierd.
- SamoyedFurFluff 6y agoI dont know if a case where Apple hired ethicists and then fired them for their research? Admittedly apple also doses all their employees with NDAs up the wazoo so we simply can’t know these things.
