"mega-corp" is a term from dystopian cyberpunk fiction people just started applying to real life. "mega-corps" aren't a real thing (at least not until they become semi-autonomous states with their own currencies and private armies,) nor is "mega-corp" well enough defined that one can use it as a means to remove free speech and association rights. If those rights even worked that way, which they don't. Nor should they.

You may as well just say "any company I don't like," it means practically the same thing.

I just meant companies worth exorbitant amounts of money... like $1T+ ... not sure on the amount though... Do you work for them or the government?

Yeah, no potential for a slippery slope there at all. Nope, none.

>Do you work for them or the government?

Neither. I just think setting arbitrary, ill defined lines for denying fundamental rights is dangerously authoritarian.

Although, noting your beliefs in this regard and now your paranoia, I truly hope you never sit in a position of actual power.
