Is it so hard to just be an ethical company?

Companies, by definition, can not be ethical.

What we need is for Mozilla Fd to become a employee coöp.

Companies, by definition, can not be ethical.

Why not?

It's not necessary to treat employees like garbage. To treat private data like a form of currency. To not give a damn about the environment or the future of humanity.

These are choices that the head of these companies decided would be either easier and/or more profitable, and society should be punishing those behaviours.
