Sometimes when the market punishes, it punishes brutally. And it punishes stupidity regardless of ideology or which politicians you’ve bought and paid for:-)
You have to wonder how stupid the execs & legal staff in these companies are. The internet that they want to use to punish or constrain people is the same internet that the people will use against them to start boycotts, post angry tirades, etc.
I teach info policy and use these kind of cases all the time. You’d think companies would learn from others’ mistakes and not make such idiotic policies.
