Because a company is a group of real people making decisions together. There is no “legal fiction” deciding to not associate with certain others.

- BitwiseFool 6y agoI still fail to see how that coordinated group of people motivated by profit takes precedence over the civil rights of an individual.
- Goronmon 6y agoI fail to see how an individual loses their civil rights just because they joined a "coordinated group of people".
- BitwiseFool 6y agoThe individual who joined the "coordinated group of people" (the corporation) still have their individual civil rights, but the legal entity they constitute should not have it's rights valued on the same level as individual human beings. If the corporation is being seen as a single entity then you should not consider it's employees' individual rights as the same thing. Or even combine them together to give more weight to the corporation's rights.
- ctdonath 6y agoFreedom of association inherently involves groups of individual people mutually deciding to not associate with particular individuals.
