> Neither do corporations, but whenever you hear anyone say "corporations shouldn't base their moral systems around money", then it's all about "free market", "profit" and "shareholder values". I'm not sure if you're trying to highlight an aspect of communal hypocrisy, but I will say that I wouldn't be one of the people shouting back stuff about "shareholder values" in response to a call for corporate social responsibility. > it's a bit of a stretch to assume people-people morals apply to people-corporate situations Sure, there's a bit of a power dynamic in play. But we should also remember that corporations are just huge groups of people working together for some kind of common cause. If you do something kind for a corporation (like, for example, responsibly reporting a security vulnerability instead of releasing it into the wild) then you're essentially doing something kind for the people that work there. I'm not saying anyone needs to go out of their way to be kind to corporations... I'm just saying we shouldn't treat them like they're not "real" and don't deserve a single iota of basic respect. (Of course, if they show a lack of respect to others, that complicates the picture, but the same would hold for "people-people" morality as well.) |

that is absolutely not true. A person doing a favour for a corporation will not get the result as doing a favour for an individual.
The corporation isn't a group of people - its a group of people under some control of a few. Their common cause is not the common cause of the employees, but that of those few in control. And i said 'is', because the corporation only h as one cause - to make profit, any way possible.
Do not ever place any loyalty, or sympathy for corporations. Do not expect them to behave morally, or altruistically. It will only end badly for you. Try to extract as much value out of a corporation as you can, just as they do to you.
