some AI's already know some people better than they know themselves. in the future we won't have to make specifications, in fact we would be worse at it than an AI would be.

people have a long history of screwing each other over in an attempt at controlling other people's sex lives.

funny you pick japanese culture, i like a lot of their morals and principles. a lot of what we would consider to be "immoral" they would consider to be personal matters. they have more social acceptance of liberty, but it is expected to be kept in quiet while putting up a polite public persona. in this manner they have both respect for each other and civility while still allowing for a wide variety of individual preferences. but they are caving to US and EU trade cannibals which are trying to crush their liberty.
japan will resist SJW culture, because it attacks public persona and personal liberty. it would be detrimental to their work ethic. work hard, play hard. besides the women there have no desire to work as hard as the men do.

the problem you are noticing stems from the size of the population. peaceful societies always depend on the lowest common denominator. going above the common denominator ensures that some people in that society are enemies of other members of that society. what is more important, peace, or some person's moral opinion?

lol terrorist, like those people who keep on terrorizing the health at every size supporters? the term terrorism has been so loosely applied to everything in the last few years that it is losing its meaning. if posting words on a screen is your idea of terrorism than sure, i am a terrorist. but everybody on this site is just as guilty as me, including you.

actually it still is the customers at fault, and so am i for being a customer of one of the big 5. i really need to go transfer to a local credit union.
as for the fed, well we can't do much about that. but you can invest in bitcoin and the like to take monetary power out of their hands. as for unethical collusion. consider this, in a capitalist world of competition if business A cheats to cut a bigger profit than business B, than it can drive business B out of the market. over time this creates business survival selection pressure for unethical businesses. this all relies on rules keeping the system rigged or it relies on free trade with competition on uneven playing fields.
so can you get rid of unethical business altogether? nope, not in this world you can't. but you can draw your own moral lines and support this business and not that business.
keep in mind the fundamental problem of subjective morality and ethics. what is unethical to person A is not unethical to person B.

i'd rather have crooks working in america than crooks working in india. but you make a valid point simply about transparency of businesses so that people can opt to patronize businesses that they agree with.

the problem with stuff like this is that it creates a demand for people who will do as instructed. want to watch an american firm that pays decent move to india? just have enough of its US employees refuse to do the ordered tasks on moral principle. i can see why someone might not write straight up illegal code, but unethical code is 1) subjective and 2) strategic. sometimes some unethical code is simply a legal loophole to get around an unethical law. sometimes an unethical code is unethical to person A but not to more reasonable person B.
so i am going to call bullshit on this whole article. will businesses do unethical things? yes they will. but you know who is really at fault? their fucking customers. YOU need to vote with your money, and YOU need to be a customer of ethical businesses. what you purchase matters.
