So it's ok for you to use your contacts to get avert 'extinction-level disasters' but it's questionable ethics if others try to do the same?

The bribery angle is where it appears questionable to me.

And I'm not at all happy with needing to rely on contacts. These companies should not be able to get away with potentially destroying other businesses or adversely impacting peoples personal lives and just handwave the reasoning to be "the algorithm". People should have recourse.
