I think this is a common belief in Silicon Valley. It is not elsewhere. This, in a crux, is why decision-making power is being—and needs to be—removed from the former.
I agree that few are behaving in a downright evil manner. (At least according to their own compasses.) But there has been moral drift around when permission needs to be asked, how it needs to be asked, and the degree to which business leaders have a duty to safeguarding their customers’ interests. The same thing happened in the trust-busting era; it’s interesting to see it happen again.
