Private companies can pretty much do as they please.
Tyranny doesn't come from a corporation. It comes from a repressive government. That's what the Bill of Rights protects against.

(3,428 posts)You cannot offer any criticism of Democratic politicians on this site. Even direct quotes from said politicians are considered bashing.
