That fact that is not taken as a given, speaks a lot about how deeply ingrained corruption is in our society.
I would almost argue that even “neutral” newswires like AP/Reuters should use language like “Companies A, B, C, have created a common PR organisation that will be focused on self-regulation polemics …”.
I swear the only legitimate response to a corporation saying “I’m going to self regulate”
Is:
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ok anyway, here are the regulations we’re going to enforce.”
Any entity or group that can be trusted to self-regulate wouldn’t raise the question about whether they need to be regulated in the first place.
