When a company becomes pervasive enough to become a feature of the ambient social, commercial or economic environment, the argument of “its a private company” loses its validity. At that point the company serves a vital public function, and its rules and actions bleed into public governance. Which is a great argument for limiting the scope and size of companies that interface directly with the public.
