Comments on: Big Business Wants To Dictate Your Morality http://constantflux.org/2008/08/21/big-business-wants-to-dictate-your-morality/ Hacking the Future Sun, 05 Apr 2026 19:14:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Gustav Bertram http://constantflux.org/2008/08/21/big-business-wants-to-dictate-your-morality/#comment-528 Gustav Bertram Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:27:43 +0000 http://constantflux.org/?p=240#comment-528 I will defend to the death their right to association, but I disagree with their reasons for doing so. In addition I want to highlight Citibank's greed in wanting to keep Audacia's money, but not wanting to be associated with her business. I want people to know about it so they can make an informed choice about supporting Citibank. "Here is a bank who wants to impose arbitrary morals on their customers. Do you still want to support them? Or are you offended by their presumption to limit your freedoms?" Think of it this way: Do they have policies against having convicted felons as customers? Do they refuse to be involved with weapons manufacture? How about cults like Scientology? I bet you they don't.
