> government doesn't itself have civil rights
Neither do corporations. This is easy to demonstrate. Imagine you refuse to talk to Trump supporters - most people would say that's your right.
> It's still freedom of speech and association to not want to do business with certain people
imagine the outrage if Tomorrow YouTube deletes accounts for anyone that supported Trump
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoCorporations are owned by people who do have civil rights.
- jonny_eh 3y agoLet's go more extreme. Tech companies are free to not host Nazi content. The US govt is NOT free to lock someone up for being a Nazi. That's the power of the 1st amendment.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoWhy can I never find you 'Corporations are people' advocates when corporate manslaighter is being discussed, for example when Boeing killed 200 people with a faulty plane?
- jonny_eh 3y agoCorporations are not people. Congress could pass laws saying that tech must host Nazi content. But they haven't.
