We're there, and have been for years. The employees aren't paid to be "nice", and if you don't have a contract with the company storing your data, then you're making a mistake relying on them.

Rely on them for convenient access to your files...but not as your prime copy, or your essential backup. You use their services at their whim.

Why not? Our UK micro-business's (PLC's) internal motto is "be nice" seems to work well.

It doesn't mesh well with the corporate amorality that large organizations seem to tend toward in pursuit of profit.

Why did you add the sarcasm tag? The proof's in the pudding: When Facebook throws people off their platform, the first, second, and third reactions of the victims seem to be trying to climb back on. Apparently, they don't "need" to be run morally.

Lol, yes, of course if it makes lots of money then it doesn't need to be run morally or with any degree of humanity. /s
