Sure, but why not? One would think it would be a popular opinion.

I’m not advocating the act. I’m saying that, given it’s clearly a popular opinion - right or wrong - it’s surprising that it’s contentious to bring up.

realistically the CEOs make the biggest scare, but the chain of command usually barely even reaches them in large companies. if you really want to stop a company from doing bad things it’s not a super effective strategy. that being said if you’re trying to make them feel unsafe then it’s perfect, but it is also terrorism by definition. do with that what you will. edit: clarified what kind of company
