    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.

      • It instills fear in anyone internally who might want to leak secrets and do you economic harm. Do not fuck with us or we will kill you.
      • It shows every company, cop, and organization that you're a strong company, and will not be fucked with.

      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

      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.
