It seems odd to say the authorities aren't trustworthy so let's give authority to yet another person. Why do you want to give more power somewhere because you don't like the other people that have that power. It's still a corporation. Why trust corporations over government?
Edit: keep in mind one is supposed to abide by law, the one you want though is only beholden to itself.
@pjhenry1216 @zquestz @dingus are you seriously asking why it's okay to let IBM sabotage Hitler?
IBM didn't sabotage Hitler though, neither did Ford. But that isn't at all what anyone is saying anyway.
@PowerCrazy I know they didn't. That person is saying they shouldn't.
