I know your downvoted but I don’t think you would be if you had of just said, corporations.

I think oil companies are the greatest existential threat to humanity via lobbying and eventually climate destruction. Second is social media companies. It’s so easy to spread misinformation against a whole populace and it’s going south fast.

There is just too much incentive for those vested in these corporations to just stop.
