Corporations shield shareholders from civil liability not operators from criminal charges. You seem to have no concept at all what a corporate shield is or the difference between criminal and civil law

You are correct. You are also in violation of HN guidelines pertaining to eschewing personal swipes.
The ground reality clearly demonstrates the asymmetry between a 'naked' operator and the one cocooned inside a corporation. The criminal law is identical for both in spirit, in practice; corporations often protect their executives by simply buying out the courtroom: bench, bar and gavel.
You are in violation of the hacker news rules but making a swipe at me implying I am a rule breaker. Please change your comment to be a more neutral tone or I will report it.
It's a problem with the law too, but corporations still effectively shield individuals from criminal prosecution for things individuals would be prosecuted for by breaking up accountability among many different people/groups of people.
any organization of people does that lol
> not operators
You need a government willing to apply the law. Republicans are lawless criminals. They only put political rivals in prison whenever guilty or not.
The current reality is that laws do not apply to CEOs of big tech companies. It must be solved. They should be send to prison, and no pardons. When criminals are protected by the government all society suffers.
The attacks were against limited liability for corporations, now you are changing the subject.
What planet do you live on?
Hey Eridanus2 you've got another violator to scold!
