Comic Strip Title: "Data Dehumanization"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2010, revolves around a meeting between a group of individuals discussing the ethics of customer data. The conversation begins with the statement, "Customer data is an asset that you can sell." This sets the tone for the discussion, which delves into the moral implications of utilizing customer information for financial gain.

As the conversation progresses, one individual suggests that it's ethical because customers would do the same thing to us if they could. However, another participant counters this argument, stating that in phase one, they will dehumanize the enemy by calling them "data."

The comic strip pokes fun at the corporate world's tendency to prioritize profits over people, highlighting the disconnect between the value placed on customer data and the human impact of such practices. Through satire, the comic strip raises important questions about the ethics of data collection and usage in the modern business landscape.
