In what world are you holding corporations to moral rather than legal definitions? This is about legal liability.
You don’t think corporations have any sort of moral responsibility? That’s fucked up, ngl. Of course corporations should have moral responsibility for their actions (or inaction).
I said “some responsibility”. You mentioned legal liability. I think there’s lots more to responsibility than just who is legally liable. To me that seems like a no brainer.
This is an article about being sued. If your want to change the scope you should be specific to what you’re expanding too.
And no, corporations are run by thousands of people all with a wide and diverse definition of ethical. I do not place ethical standards on them whatsoever. I expect them to act within the legal limits of the country of operation and what public opinion will tolerate. To expect anything otherwise is silly.
I just talked about responsibility. It by default is a wider thing than just legal responsibility.
That’s fucking grim.
What is that public opinion based on if not in part on moral judgement?
The public is happy to buy from companies that engage in unethical behavior. There is a higher bar that is tolerated before consumers will stop purchasing products however.
I just meant that that’s often morality based, as in general public holds companies to some moral standard. Often it’s a fairly low standard though, as you’ve pointed out.
