They are doing the correct thing then. Prisons, ID, policing NONE of that stuff should ever be in corporate hands. It just stinks of fascism to anyone who really thinks about it for more than a moment. Governments are bad enough, corporations should never take on such roles because then they have a second incentive of profit to be bad actors and not just petty power trips.

I don't want to be that guy but it really has nothing to with facism.

I suggest you google the definition.

It's definitely a bad idea, but just because something is a bad idea does not magically make it facism.

If you think stuff like this being okay in the hands of a government then you might want to reexamine that line of reasoning, given that most governments are barely any better than corporations at the end of the day...
