This is really it. It gets so frustrating reading HN sometimes because such a huge swath of commenters just seem ok with this stuff. You have companies doing evil shit and the sentiment is basically if it's not illegal, then it's fine.
There seems to be a large subset of people in this world that are still on the Medieval moral framework of "Might makes Right." With the modern definition of "Might" being money. And unfortunately, those are the people that seem to make it into power.

The law is to the will of the people so when something is deemed not fine, they do make it illegal. There will always be outliers who hold different views, but when randomly meeting other people the chances are you will most likely meet those who fit within the majority.
