After living so long with complete bullshit coming out of tech and finance sectors, I'm less inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and more likely to assume it's a "don't say anything if you can just wink" kind of "no direct knowledge" situation.
- speff 3y agoThere’s no evidence that can be provided to change that mindset
- shkkmo 3y agoShould there be? A single example isn't going to change a prevailing trend. If laws change to by and large hold companies responsible and make them liable for their outsourced ethical violations, the mindset will gradually change. IMHO, this is good. Companies should take proactive effort to make sure that their suppliers behave ethically out of a fear they will be held responsible for any violations.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoAnd if it actually happened the way I described, with a wink, there exists no evidence that it happened - yet it did. And that itself would be evidence that this mindset of mine has validity. Trust is like a vase. It takes a lot of time and effort to make one. It takes a lot less time and effort to break one. And even if you fix it, you'll always be able to see the cracks.
- barryrandall 3y agoThere is, but it "doesn't scale." That evidence is an established track record as an ethical and trustworthy participant in the marketplace. But that takes forever, success isn't guaranteed, and the ROI is worse than just screwing people over.
- hobs 3y agoSure there is, a system created for all that benefits all. Since we're so far from that its laughable, we can consider the evidence not provided.

- Alupis 3y agoWhen it comes to voting in elections - we discard this type of article/headline with careless disregard. But when it comes to net neutrality, suddenly it's believable despite lacking evidence? This particular AG has made a name for herself by being sensationalist and partisan. This is likely just more pandering... > All told, the investigation found that nearly 18 million of the more than 22 million comments the FCC received in its 2017 proceeding to repeal net neutrality rules were fake. About 8.5 million of those comments were sent by people who simply didn’t exist. Many, however, simply used the names of real people without their knowledge. Not finding a person's name doesn't mean that wasn't a human that submitted the comment. It's an online form - people will do things to remain anonymous, including making up names. I'm afraid this is evidence of nothing.
- op00to 3y agoMy dead mother submitted a comment in favor of Comcast and against Net Neutrality. Anyone involved in this is trash and should have to experience someone abusing the memory of their dead loved ones.
- Alupis 3y agoIt's far more likely someone typed a random name into the form that happened to have been your mother's versus obtained a list of dead people and wrote their names - isn't it? There's no identity check for submitting the comment form. It's as simple as lying on the form. > in favor of Comcast and against Net Neutrality Also, let's not make up stories about this issue.
