  At least in the US, most: 1. Are monopolies. 2. Don't care if you live or die. 3. Have a long sordid history of despicable practices, including price gouging, rampant upselling, shoddy customer service, manipulating search and Web results, selling customer browsing history or patterns, and worse. 4. Are typically at or near the top of lists of companies / industry sectors with which the public trusts least and hates most. They have enormous power over individuals, collect absolute gobs of data, and act capriciously, carelessly, and overwhelmingly against their subscribers' personal interests with it.
