Why should corporations have the same rights and freedoms as human beings? I think this is a far more important question than do you believe in right or left economic policy. idc, I want you to know, do you think a human’s rights, especially many humans together, outweigh that of non living entities like large tech companies.

Because corporations are just a group of people.

  So corporations can go to prison then? Or do you think some groups of people should get a free liability shield without any restrictions that come with it?

  If it's "people all the way down", why do companies pay so much less tax?

  Exactly. Corporations have more rights. Also immunity from any real consequences, but that's mostly an enforcement thing.

    > Corporations have more rights. Also immunity from any real consequences That's just untrue. They may have rights that you do not like that they have, but they do not have MORE rights than humans. Similarly, companies face all sorts of penalties and restrictions that constrain them in particular ways, including very severe penalties. There might be some actions that you think ought to have more severe penalties than they get, but that doesn't make your statement that companies are immune to real consequences false.

      If you cut out half a sentence you can definitely counter anything. I specifically said it's an enforcement thing. If you fine meta something in Mils when they have a quarterly turn over of billions that is not consequences. But sure, let's go out and defend corporation.
