Soylent Corporations are made of people. Human beings do have moral authority to choose which laws to break, which includes accepting the consequences of their actions. They are then judged based on the validity of that moral choice in the public eye, which is admittedly subjective and ineffable, if not volatile. But pollution and mass spying are unlikely to be seen as principled civil disobedience in the same way as releasing evidence of law-breaking, sharing an NSL, etc.
Not sure what is going on with the massive cognitive dissonance being displayed.
Government ignoring constitution/laws for perceived moral/efficiency benefits BAD, commerical entities ignoring laws for perceived moral/efficiency benefits GOOD.
