McDonalds could have made a public statement. They didn't

They don't endorse the snitching

Riiight. 'Cause that's something any corporation would say, ever.

So, I guess boycott every corporation. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Like, not even your favorite non-profit would say that. You're literally expecting the impossible.

I guess. Not really.

“Peak Design has not provided customer information to the police and would only do so under the order of a subpoena"

That's not the same as saying "We are against our employees calling the police when they see a suspect in our store." after an employee does that. That's what I'm talking about.

On the other hand, very few corporations would volunteer data without a court order. That's normal. We're not talking about that. We're talking about coming out and saying, "We don't support our employees calling the police on a suspect." That's something very few—or no—corporations would do.

It's two very different statements and situations.

Yeah, not really but somewhat. Anyway I actually enjoyed our debate, it seems we reached the point where we both understand what the other meant. I just come from bluesky where assholes quote post you to death instead of giving arguments to win the debate. Lemmy feels so much better, away from swarms of fans ready to defend their idols

You expected a rational reason for irrational behaviour? It's never going to make sense outside of "it's just virtue signaling."
