"If a business cannot exist without the unlawful and unethical exploitation of data subjects then in the public interest is should close. Shareholders should not be the number one consideration in every matter regarding business. If they lose out for investing in an unlawful unethical business then they should lose their money."
Obviously not an American. In the USA, unlawful and unethical is the very definition of business. When I was in Business school, a professor said "You know what they call people to obey the law? LOOSERS!!!, Soon to be bankrupt and unemployed. And Shareholders are GODS and their profit is the ONLY consideration. They can do anything they want, any time they want, to whomever they want, so long as it makes a profit. The government and the courts will back them all the way.
