How can it be unethical if this is how it's done across the board in the US? Meta's lawyers aren't bringing in some unheard of tactic here. This is par for the course. I'd love to hear some "ethical" means for proving without doubt that you have competitors. Admittedly I wouldn't be a good judge of their usability in court, mind.

The other piece that I think the parent was making is that how can we judge this practice as somehow speaking to the ethicalness of a broader company when the decision making process doesn't work or act like a single mind (which is how we perceive ethics to work, an internal/personal decision wherein you way the good, bad, etc)?
