For me, commercial social medias: they make money by spreading hate, violence, authoritarianism and misinformation.

    Chiquita (or a parent company idc).

    Among the many other bad things they did, they knowingly AND REPEATEDLY hired terrorists, and also moved the US to overthrow the Guatemalan government just for a few labor laws.
    Is it even possible to get an order of magnitude more cynical than that?

    Video game companies. I don’t feel like I need to explain this one, but some extra shittyness to digest: less than a year after forming, the Activision QA union has filed at least 1 ULP for illegal termination

    I think you can’t use the word cynical in that way. People can be cynical, but corporations can’t. Corporations don’t have that type of thought or feeling.
