Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Yeah but why would it matter, a dude could leak that they fuel the jet with babies the CEO personally strangled to death and nothing would happen. I'm surprised corporations don't even bother with hiding this shit anymore, might as well just publish it every fiscal quarter.
The benefits to them of killing whistleblowers far outweighs the negatives.
Also I don't think you realize just how harmful leaks can be, either economically, legally, or image-wise. Some might seem harmless economically, but there are other assets besides money.
too big to fail... it's like when pg&e was the cause of a majority of those fires in CA that killed so many people.. instead of paying up they just declared bankruptcy, and CA residents had to pay to bail them out, then they made $2 billion in profit but are too poor to pay back the bailout, as they raise the rate for gas & electricity by over 20% in mere months
once you capture a market you're invincible to consequences
What the fuck
I know right, it's like they are scared to really test the limits of their power. I think they could bring back the right to bed your wife on your wedding night and still nothing would happen.
