    Musk is in regular contact with Putin, who makes suggestions about where Star link be turned off, or denied access to.

    Bezos prevented the Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris.

    Remember… There is not a single corporation that gives a shit about you beyond your LTV (lifetime value) as a paying customer. “Pride week” and “Palestinian stories” type things are just mechanisms to get your money.

    If they are told they make more money harming you, CEOs literally have a legal responsibility to choose that option. And right after they do, they will have an amazing dinner while laughing at how stupid you are and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life.

      No they fucking don’t.

      They choose to do so out of greediness the vast majority of the time, but it isn’t a legal obligation.

        Plenty are greedy psychopaths, I’m not saying the above as a forgiveness, I’m stating it as a fact. A CEO is a legal “corporate officer” of a company. Seems you need to learn a bit more about fiduciary responsibilities for a CEO. It is a legal obligation.

        Maybe you’ll do some reading, probably not though, huh? The people in your life must be just fucking exhausted by that energy of yours.

        Yes they actually do. Look up Dodge v. Ford Motor Company. A business must be run in the interests of the shareholders, not the public, not the employees, not even the business itself.

        Is it morally right? Fuck no. Is it the law? Unfortunately yes.

        You are actually not wrong but if they dont obey BoD, it is the shed.

        Bigger question here if this “simplification” is a valid tactic to communicate the message.

        Theoretically BoD could sue the CEO, but i dont think that ever happened in this context… Only in cases of fraud, ie stealing company assets

          Something similar has happened. Look up Dodge vs. Ford Motor Co where the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that a ceo must operate in the interest of the shareholders not in the interests of the business and it’s employees.

        And let’s not forget that most significant forms of “harm” are illegal in the first place. The comment above you makes it sound like any minute now, Nabisco might decide it’s more profitable for them to roll out to your house and kill you.

          I mean… if something is illegal but the penalties are low or enforcement nonexistent then it’s more like a recommendation. Fines become a “cost of doing business”.

      Has anyone ever been under the illusion orherwise? I’ve never seen anyone who thought corporations cared about them. And people don’t care about corporations either. They care about getting the shit they want at the price they want and will sleep very soundly if some corporation goes out of business.

        Seems you live in a bubble friend.

        One of the most popular kids toys are miniature brand name products that the parents buy for them…

        people by M&M’s branded leather jackets for $300 and walk around as human billboards willingly…

        people cover their cars with bumper stickers and get tattoos with logos showing their preferences between competing local coffee shops…

        Goop, celebrity-fronted baby brands, etc are “lifestyle brands” where people purchase an identity and defend it against others…

        Sports teams are corporations that people literally have bloody fist fights over…

        Target is selling a Halloween costume and kids sized shopping carts and checkout stands and their parents are buying them… For money

        What in the sweet sticky god damn FUCK are you talking about “was anyone under that illusion”?

        Dude, Donald trump is a fucking corporation that elderly people eating cat food donate their pension checks to…

        You seem to be delusional if you see NONE of that.

    I gave Netflix a chance because of all the Palestinian content (I’m not even shitting) after being unsubbed for over a year since their underhanded tactics on family sharing, but I guess it’s time to cancel again.

          See, that’s what I thought.

          I need to spend less time on Israeli news sites and Reddit, but the whole point of visiting those is to see what the others think, but if you put yourself in an echo chamber you only hear the same things and I’m trying to avoid that.

          I’ve just seen too many opinions exactly like that lately

        There’s a pinned post right now where you can vote to kill the bot. I ultimately blocked it because it was at best useless - the sources I didn’t recognize it didn’t either, and I saw it endorsing British tabloids which is outright harmful. Maybe I would have liked the Wikipedia addition, because the spoiler tag works on my Lemmy client, but people already do this in comments in a more relevant way on an article to article basis.

                Well, be that as it may, you only have 3 options in front of you; you can complain about it, shut up, or post what your problem is and why the others are wrong.

                Right now, you haven’t even said what your problem with it is.

                What part is misinformation even would be a good place to start.

          Why don’t you just block everybody who doesn’t like it? Then it can just be you and the bot alone on all the threads.
