Similarly, if these charts really are often closely guarded by companies (something I don't doubt is true, since they could pose poaching risks, or copycats in the form of companies attempting to build org structures based on what their more successful competitors are doing), I could see how some companies might start to approach The Org with requests to remove their profiles and corresponding charts.

The notion that the media exacerbates the problem of mass shootings and inspires copycats isn't just coming from right-wing gun advocates: Research presented at the American Psychological Association's annual convention two years ago by Western New Mexico University correlated the three-fold increase in mass shootings between 2000 to 2016 to what they call a "media contagion effect;" where a mass shooting is covered widely and extensively, with a lot of attention paid to the shooter.

In the meantime, a number of competitors selling nicotine pods advertised as compatible with Juul devices has sprung up, with the company flailing around in court to keep the copycats out:Juul has filed numerous lawsuits, and complaints with the International Trade Commission, seeking to beat back the cheaper copycat devices and pods... The company is also targeting sellers of counterfeit vaping devices and pods sold under the Juul name, and training federal customs officials to catch them at ports of entry.... The company has filed patent infringement claims against 21 manufacturers and sellers of copycat devices and pods... Most of those companies agreed to stop selling their similar products, but three did not, according to Juul: Eonsmoke, based in New Jersey, which uses factories in China; Ziip, based in China; which makes many different brands of nicotine pods and devices; and Vapor4Life, an Illinois-based seller of pods, devices and other goods.
