I'm sure this has more to do with legal liability than morals.


Which is a reflection of morality, of sorts.


Morality and law are completely disjoint. On a Venn diagram, it's two circles separated by about a lightyear or so.


What? They couldn't be more closely connected. In a democracy, laws are to a large extent a reflection of the wishes of the voters, and voters want what they believe is moral.

It's true there's no casual relation in the other direction, if that's what you mean - law does not define morality.


At first I thought of advertisers, but that is not relevant here, right?

But maybe it's not just legal liability but bad press too.
