Why it matters: Smartphone manufacturers and Apple say that their actions guarantee the integrity and safety of the batteries by preventing the possible use of counterfeit batteries.
Observe the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all contacts with managers and employees in the public sector, avoiding that their behavior may seem improper.
Their actions, backed by corporations, succeeded in preventing changes that would enhance government's policy space to regulate in the US investment treaties that had been proposed by US President Barack Obama when he came to office.
These corporations are not separate from the US government in any meaningful way, and their behavior is therefore no better than the state censorship we commonly see US government officials decrying in the governments of non-allied nations.
