Its always funny how the US are likey some third world country where entrepreneurs/rich people always try the worst ethically possible thing first, asking shamelessly.
In europe, entrepreneurd and corps arent saints but they dont start with the worst shameless proposal possible.
I guess the difference is knowing shame
The difference is accountability.
Why not both
Honestly, I don’t think shame is applicable to corporations really. When you spread all the activity between hundreds and thousands of people, no one feels truly responsible for the company’s actions.
I’ve worked with/at some huge companies, and it’s not like CEOs or director boards are actively sitting and plotting genocides, while evilly laughing and curling their moustaches. They often don’t give a shit at all, they’d rather just chill on their yachts or whatever.
What happens is they set a guideline, like “we need X% amount of growth next year”. After that, managers start pitching ideas, product designers with their small teams compete for resources, someone somewhere finds a way to rise CTR or save some money here and there. But “let’s be evil lol #noshame” is nowhere to be seen. It’s just tiny ideas that are not that impactful on their own congregating into a vile mess.
That’s why regulations and high fines are so important. They help stop those ideas from being pitched.
Remember that Nestle exec who wanted to make water not a human right?
