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

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

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

Blackstone inc.

Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

    All corporations are evil, but this one has a special place in my heart's hell. Blackstone's Invitation Homes robbed me of $3k and ruined my credit for years.

    What's an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I'm not aware of all the nuances yet.

    It's a shell corp they use to buy up all the residential housing in cities across the US, and with a nice name like Invitation Homes who would ever guess that they're a multinational conglomerate? As long as you're not renting you should be fine other than the fact that corporate rentals, 'investment properties', and Airbnb have cannibalized the housing market. Good luck.

    All of the biggest ones .... no corporation should be allowed to amass so much wealth that they could literally control entire countries or regions of the world. The fact that this level of power and control exists means we value money and capital over human life or even more terribly the value of millions of human lives.

    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.

    Tyson.

    Iirc, largest meat supplier. Which means they are a huge catalyst to the industry that literally profits on death and misery more than any other.

    Their products are corpses, their human workers are in the industry with the highest rate of PTSD from their jobs, and by simply existing they’re helping create superviruses by fostering cramped sheds of half-dead animals that can barely move sleeping on their own shit and being kept alive just long enough to slaughter, using powerful antibiotics that will become useless a lot faster than if we used those antibiotics to protect humans instead of giving the perfect environment for viruses to adapt to and overcome them.

    Fuck the whole animal agriculture industry, and extra fuck the biggest corps behind them.

    Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I've witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that history, I want to puke my guts out.

    Societal drug abuse is indicative of so many systemic issues. It's far beyond a shame that conservatives used 'the war on drugs' to attack minorities and political dissenters and enrich pharmaceutical companies instead of focusing on the roots of the issue.

    I'm deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir's data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

    Microsoft, Nestle, Alphabet, meta, all Elmo musk companies, Oracle, Rogers, Disney, all AI companies, all private equity companies, all gambling companies, all US health care insurrection companies

    It's interesting that the "worst" corporations mentioned by others here do not include any media companies.

    Perhaps you might contemplate why it is that they appear to be "invisible" in a discussion about damage to society.

    Is it possible that the narrative around "evil companies" is told by media companies?

    I wanted to say Meta but reading things like NestlΓ© reminded me there are other companies that are equally as bad.

    Now I wonder if NestlΓ© can be considered more evil than Meta because Meta influences the population on such a low level that it affects everyone.
    Thanks to those fuckheads at Meta (not the devs trying to make a living) Any developed country went so far right it's almost unbelievable how fast it turned.

    I don't think removing a corporation from existence would fix anything. We have a capitalist system killing the planet that has been extended to basically every country on the planet thanks to U.S. hegemony (which thankfully is coming to an end)

    Nestle, Shell, BP, prager U, PayPal (interac please), Uline, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, that dollar store brand.

    All of these have destroyed the environment, destroyed our democracy, or destroyed our small cities and towns.

    Black Rock,

  • All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They've never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

    See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

    Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin's war machine in one go.

    For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.

    with the exception of some mom and pop cornershops, some state owned corporations and almost all worker-owned cooperatives, pretty much all of them can go. but i'd start with palantir.

    Maybe Goldman Sachs. Manipulation of many markets, both contributed to and profited from the 2008 crash. Which they paid a $550mil settlement for when they're like a $100bil company. Imagine making $50k a year, committing fraud ("misleading its investors") at a national scale affecting millions, and getting fined $250.

    Also manipulation of gas prices, food supply/prices, insider trading, they're just the freaking worst.

    Why do people only hit the nail on Nestle? Yes yes I do agree they are bad and need to disapear...

    But haven't you all heard about CocaCola? Who destroyed whole villages' water source? Whole ecosystems to produce enough space to grow their ingredients?

    CocaCola is probably as evil as Nestle, they are on the same level of evilness !
