I don't care for moralizing. If you're not going to make a legal argument, I really couldn't care less. Companies aren't ethical; they obey laws. That's all they will do.

Often, ethics become law. If you care about this at all, figure out what laws you want and organize to pass them.

Companies do more to than just obey laws. Or rather, what is legal or illegal isn't the issue. Places like Reddit have banned legal speech, just because. There was no law saying they had to. They did it because they wanted to. Making this a legal issue, it only discussing legal issues is weird

Since you replied so will I. Take example this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9072424

It actually doesnt matter if its legal or not for them to be doing this. Whats important is for customers be fully aware of whats going on and to make a choice (purchase or not). The opinion of customers will undoubtably shape that companies future decisions.

So companies do much more than obey laws and follow contract or EULA. The respond to their customers and users based on their perceptions and feedback.
