Public disclosure test

Explanation:

The public disclosure test refers to the fact that companies have to care about what the public thinks about them. Before people used to say that the public disclosure test was like having your life broadcasted by television; Are we acting properly? What would happen if our actions were made public?

Nowadays the public disclosure test is much more common because everyone has and uses a smartphone. Everything is public now, a video showing a truck illegal disposing hazardous waste material would go viral in minutes and the company's reputation would be destroyed.
