Then you aren't thinking hard enough.

A couple recent ones Volkswagen diesels and Zenefits. Uber stands out as they seem to use it as PR tool, while most other companies tend to use PR to downplay and cover up their law breaking.

blatant |ˈbleɪt(ə)nt| adjective

(of bad behaviour) done openly and unashamedly: blatant lies.

Volkswagen weren't blatant about it. They kept it a secret. If they were blatant about it the way Uber is, they would be publishing their true NOx numbers and saying "yeah we know these numbers aren't allowed by emissions standards but we're selling it anyway"
