Corporations aren't people. I can't get married to Google. If you can point to specific precedence of corporations being given access to certain data on grounds of their personhood then your argument makes sense but just because corporations are considered like people in the context of speech doesn't mean that applies literally everywhere else.

- JetSpiegel 6y ago> I can't get married to Google. But they can still fuck you over, like when they banned my GMail account for no reason, with no warning nor explanation.

- kerkeslager 6y agoThe law is wrong.
- hanche 6y agoI never said otherwise.
- kerkeslager 6y agoOkay, but it's pretty tiresome to hear the supreme court opinion of corporate personhood brought up constantly as if it has any validity whatsoever.
- hanche 6y agoI can sympathize with that. Unfortunately, the opinion of the supreme court is a force to be reckoned with, whether we agree or not.
