- vuln 3y agoCorporations are not people. Full stop.
- Randomizer42 3y agoActually they are. Look up the definition of a corporation.
- JohnFen 3y agoPeople work for a corporation, but a corporation is not a person. It is a legal entity that exists separately and distinct from the people that work for it.
- brightlancer 3y agoLegally, a corporation is a person. It's not a human being, but it is a person. This was not some accident of the law: this was deliberately designed hundreds of years ago and is well understood outside of internet comment sections.
- JohnFen 3y ago> Legally, a corporation is a person. It's not a human being, but it is a person. A corporation is a unique legal entity that has a limited subset of the rights of a person, but is not considered the same as a person as a blanket statement. Specifically, a corporation is considered a "person" for the purposes of being able to enter into contracts, being able to sue and be sued, and similar.

- chinchilla2020 3y ago> Full stop. I was going to argue but then he used "Full stop" which pretty much proves his point immediately and irrevocably.
- brightlancer 3y agoIt applies to corporations all the time. Really big corporations with lots of money and influence (like human beings with lots of money and influence) may avoid responsibility for their actions, but most corporations are _small_ and a best-effort but unintentional misstep of the law can wreck them.
