Allowing them to not take responsibility is an enabler for unethical business practices. Make businesses accountable for their actions, simple as that.


How are they not accountable though? Is Docker not accountable for their outage that follows as a consequence? How should I make them accountable? I don't have to do shit here, the facts are what they are and the legal consequences are what they are.
