The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.

Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

Alphabet and Meta.

They have a stranglehold on the internet that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place.

But reading the other replies I guess my kneejerk reaction is a bit egocentric. Surely others are more important because they fuck up people's lives directly, not just via the internet.

    I imagine Amazon has for more influence than Meta do to AWS, could be wrong though.

    Amazon controls corpos.
    Meta controls the general population (FB: Mostly older gen, Insta: Both young and old, WA: Also both). They control the political voice which is IMO more important if you consider voices more important than subtle (or not so) lobbying.

    Don't they (amazon) control the general population by proxy then?

    I'd say Meta has more general population control with FB and Insta.
    AWS/Amazon is more corporate focused and only in the shadows for the general population.
    Short term I rather see Meta being able to manipulate rather than Amazon.
