Why do you say "WILL NOT" in such a definitive way? It doesn't seem like a good bet as a company to rely on your users and the public to forgive you when you step too far, especially if you do it repeatedly.
I might not represent the majority, I am not sure. But I think that it is wrong to say that users will not punish them.
People are becoming more jaded with each incident (regardless of which company) and becoming less tolerant of these antics. Eventually people will reach their breaking point.
Or it just might be that I am getting old and crotchety. Get off my lawn!
