@lemmy.worldA great deal of people don't view society as theirs. When someone stands outside the system, what is there to lose or care about? Personally, I believe i see your larger point, but many people don't consider the social and responsibility this way.
When considering the golden rule, it can help to recall many 'others' would prefer folks not 'do unto them' in the same way... or, frankly, at all.
So... they sell, lease, etc either your data or some value added bullshit services or products based on your data for a higher price due to monopoly?
So many interesting people and conversations have happened from hosting couch surfers over the years for me.
How can you possibly combine capitalism & government mandates, and not see corruption emerge?
