I would add a minor footnote, namely the only part of the story that can be concievably considered morally relevant to us: what can be done here? And by "here" I mean the countries to whose jursidiction these multinational giants belong.

Just take the recent Supreme Court ruling [1] that made it even harder than it already was to sue corporations for human right abuses overseas. The ruling is already being used as precedent [2] to dismiss overseas abuse charges.
