"If all of a corporations data is being held to ransom, there is no choice in the matter, they must pay" This sounds reasonable at first, but I think it might be leaning on anthropomorphizing a corporation a little much. I think of them more as a machine, or a biological cell or microbe. While it may be a machine optimized for survival, I'm not sure that they all are or that they must be. An organism can self-destruct if that's what it's programmed to do. And an organization in theory should be able to maintain processes that result in orderly self-destruction in certain circumstances, where it's appropriate in the wider society. After all, companies typically go bankrupt rather than devolving into gang warfare, right? A "humans first" society should not be prioritizing the survival of human created organizations above all else.
