Well since this is spurring a conversation I should clarify my position. The person above was right. I was talking about corporations and companies. Billionaire humans are a seperate discussion but they aren't the marketing industry.

With regards to your second point, I don't really think you've said anything noteworthy. Governments aren't humans and don't have morals. They're processes. When they do mass marketing we call it propoganda and that word seems to have pretty negative connotations with it.
