This one's tough, particularly given my own history. > I worked for a web hosting company that had a dubious history of keeping spammers around far too long. How quaint. Which companies or industries are contributing to the downfall of humanity? This answer is hard to answer but I don't think it's ads, spam, or user tracking despite being vehemently against these things. Perspective is needed. Raytheon or Lockheed Martin? They're certainly milking the taxpayer but they also fulfill an extremely important need. Fossil fuel industry? They are polluters but low energy costs contribute immensely to standards of living. I can't think of any companies or industries that are legit evil, if there even are any. Tobacco industry? Building nukes for North Korea or Iran?
