Yeah, I see this a lot on HN as well. "$BigCorp is secretly doing $NefariousThing!" "How good is the evidence for this, though?" "Why are you shilling for $BigCorp, we all know it's nefarious!" Like, I can easily believe that many big corporations are doing all sorts of shady stuff, but the lack of precision makes it impossible to put everything into perspective. (And it's not like "just break them all up, regardless of the details" is a viable solution: you'll just end up with a bunch of slightly-smaller shady corporations.)
