> I believe companies should use every inch of leeway in existing laws to do business.

No. You can do things that are immoral, harmful, predatory, and generally shitty while still being perfectly legal.

And people who want fewer regulations hampering businesses need to realize that this only works if businesses work within ethical guidelines that are not mandated by law. Otherwise the government will need to step in and protect people.

But to reiterate: Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's not evil.

Correct. Not saying the OP is, but many people conflate morality and law. They are completely separate, except for a few laws that might be inspired by moral concerns.
