Legally, 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.
