As much as I loathe our response towards global warming. This comment shows why equivalence should not be taken lightly and how absurd the result can be.

How about holding people for ransom that is equivalent for sure, how about killing people? Well oil industry eventually ends up killing some people.

Let’s put a stop to oil industry before we deal with the kidnappers and killers!!

Nobody said there has to be a priority. Why can't we stop both?

Moreover OP comments was not talking about stopping them, but about giving these people a platform.

Despite the damage done by oil companies they are still allowed to spend billions of dollars in marketing, lobbying, etc... Resulting in a much bigger, legalized, platform, while still causing way more damage than ransomware "companies".

It's the sad double standard that most companies have: Look, I pollute half the planet and I don't give a shit about investing in new technology, I just want my ARR of 100 million, and I'm willing to lie with cheap marketing ... But ransomware It's clearly a priority, we can't risk being attacked if we didn't do anything illegal, that's morally wrong, and I'm a very moral person.

How stupid people are on our planet, billionaire people are really very stupid people ... Put a scientific researcher and an entrepreneur to debate on any subject and that's when you realize that most "entrepreneurs" have the coefficient of a 5-year-old child.

why do we never see Elon Musk debate with researchers if he has as much intelligence as he says (the techno king)? It must be so as not to make a fool of himself on television (or youtube)
