Facebook-Linked Marketer Acxiom Plunges After Policy Shift

Or people think the actions of a company outweigh the harm it does via it's business model?

Or they thought the comment didn't attempt to form a balanced argument based on the context of the original article?

Or any other reason to downote aside from "Hurrrr. I'm just a sheep".

Try not to assume everyone here is dumber than you.

(PS no need for the scare quotes on "opinion". The use of that word was already negative in context. The scare quotes push the disdain a little bit too far)

But he did not attach any moral attributes. He added valuable information that most of us don’t have. That’s the entire point of a forum, and his comment is the only interesting one in this thread.

Devil's advocate: he added his OPINION, which, even if he's unbiased (not an employee for example,) it's still an opinion.

I don't disagree. I didn't downvote it. What I object to is your simplistic characterisation of those who might have downvoted it.
