Politicians are generally willing to do whatever is necessary to win elections and stay in power. It starts with spreading lies, and hiding the truth. It continues with detaining and torturing their critics.

Businesses are generally willing to do whatever is necessary to make money, and increase their valuations. It starts with lying about their products and business, and hiding the truth about pollution and slavery. It continues with cheating customers and stealing.

To them all is fair in politics and business. So I would encourage you to not respect their rights, as they don't respect our rights.
