Not really. It's just given the entity certain rights and responsibilities
The statement "corporations are people" is both a logical fallacy and a practical falsehood. You can neither apply the attributes of a person to a corporation nor apply the atributes of a corporation to a person. Simply because certain rights apply to persons does not mean you can attribute those rights to a corporation.

It is comprised of individuals, who have rights, but a random indivdual's view isn't inferred to be the view of the entire entity.
You keep making an argument based on a well established logical fallacy. I guess we should allow corporations as a singular entity to serve as jurors, adopt children, marry, vote, etc.
quote:
But if a company makes some political statement, the government can't censor it under the guise of not having rights. Therefore, it has rights to do such things.
People have rights, corporations are not people. Your entire argument keeps devolving into the same fallacy. A logical equivalence is to say "all people must eat to survive, thus a corporation must eat to survive."
