Seems like the Twitter workforce was overwhelmly to the left. Now tell me that didn't effect what these people were up to. Oh they were doing their best. Question is what were they trying to accomplish? It is now painfully obvious that the goal was to suppress a story that would have made candidate Biden look bad. What makes it all so bad is that the story was true and the laptop contents were not stolen or "Russian Disinformation". In other words it was a legitimate story and it was suppressed for political reasons.

Corporations are people too.

"Consolidated Silver Mining Co. v. Pennsylvania – 125 U.S. 181 (1888), the Court clearly affirmed the doctrine, holding, "Under the designation of 'person' there is no doubt that a private corporation is included [in the Fourteenth Amendment]. Such corporations are merely associations of individuals united for a special purpose and permitted to do business under a particular name and have a succession of members without dissolution."[17] This doctrine has been reaffirmed by the Court many times since.[citation needed]

The 14th Amendment does not insulate corporations from all government regulation, any more than it relieves individuals from all regulatory obligations. Thus, for example, in Northwestern Nat Life Ins. Co. v. Riggs (203 U.S. 243 (1906)), the Court accepted that corporations are for legal purposes "persons", but still ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment was not a bar to many state laws which effectively limited a corporation's right to contract business as it pleased."
