Bingo.

The idea that CEO's will put morals over profits is hopelessly naive.

If you want companies to act morally, you need to implement legislation and be willing to enforce that legislation. And not small million dollar fines, serious fines like 10% of revenue and personal liability and even jail time for executives.

But the American public only cares about having the stock market go up. They don't care about their data.
