Irrellevant. Your companies no more represent the
citizenry than oil companies, Microsoft or any other
corporate or commercial entity. And citizens are
*not* merely "END USERS". In every Democracy it is
"We the People" who must choose representatives. And
we do that through open sufferage elections not via
the subtrefuge of indirect market choice libertarian
models.
The sooner you and your collegues get the silly idea
that you speak for us out of your heads the sooner
you will understand that it's our right, as citizens,
to determine how you behave in your various corporate
capacities as part of civil society.
