It might be worth revisiting the definition of the term "Banana Republic" and the history of the United Fruit Company[1].

Corporations have toppled democratic governments, run dodgy drug trials and given breast feeding mothers just enough free powdered milk to stop being able to feed their babies.

We have large online retailers, Temu and Shein, accused of using forced labour aka slavery.

Even a well known SaaS operation like eBay was caught sending live spiders to woman who criticised them[2].

Corporations are entities with legal rights but are motivated solely by profit. Without laws to regulate them they would unemotionally run right over you.

Corporation are, and I choose my words carefully, absolute cunts.

They can 100% can present a threat to you. We wouldn't have the concept of corporate manslaughter if they didn't.
