Morality is an unspoken agreement between humans. Corporations can act human when it suits them, but they're closer to wild animals -- sometimes friendly, sometimes useful, sometimes harmful, but always with goals and incentives that are fundamentally unlike those of humans. You may feel a moral obligation towards a corporation or an animal, but it's one-sided: it feels no obligation whatsoever towards you.
@mogwai_poet @dartigen IMHO corporations/organizations are the gods/spirits of this world
Similarly, we like animals, and we have laws that protect animals, but we have no unspoken mutual agreement of morality with them. When an animal puts humans in danger, we don't wait for it to actually *do* harm before acting. When one harms humans, we don't feel like we owe it the benefit of due process. We put it down, immediately.
