Silence Is Gold highlights the challenges that small organizations face when attempting to inform the general public about how corporations are behaving. Why should we develop critical thinking tools about companies in the same way as we strive for media literacy (31:40)? What is force majeure and how does it allow for loopholes of responsibility (48:30)? Discuss the ways in which large companies can use lawsuits to keep information private (e.g., “bankrupting” their opponents and forcing them into silence while the information is before the courts).
