And corporations can put you in corporate "jail", lock you out of online services, or just disable or delete your identity being judge, jury and executioner...
With Government, there is some semblance of due process.
While I agree both are bad, the government is far far worse than corporations disabling your accounts
There are ways to migate the risk from corporations, and diservify that risk across several corporations
There is not anyway to mitigate the risk from government, and the idea of "due process" is really a myth created by TV Shows
With the number of criminal offenses if an agent of the government desires you to be in jail you go to jail. I guarantee you have done something, at some point that they can manipulate a jury into convicting you over
We are a criminalized society, especially the US, the "land of the free" where we put more people in jail than anywhere in the world (officially anyway)
I do agree with your later two points though, that there is an misalignment of goals for criminal justice, but, it isn't that bad because it is an outlined process, and it does not happen overnight, behind closed doors or behind a company friendly terms of service. At least you know how the meat is made, somewhat and there is transparency.
There is none, per se outside financial obligation for corporations.
whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case the idea the the constitution is proof of Due Process is delusional in the face of 1000's of data points proving the contrary
The constitution is more religion than it is law, as like the priests of other religions, the priests of the law (lawyers and judges) twist and pervert the plain text of the constitution to mean anything they desire even a clear and exact opposite position of the very text they hold to be scared
>>but, it isn't that bad because it is an outlined process, and it does not happen overnight, behind closed doors or behind a company friendly terms of service. At least you know how the meat is made, somewhat and there is transparency.
This is also false, there are all kinds of actual laws, or defacto laws, or regulations that are behind paywalls or simply ruled "national security laws", we have secret courts (FISA and others), there are all kinds of Sealed judgments that impact other things. Then there is the entire scheme of parallel construction the NSA/FBI invented to get around that pesky Constitution
The US government's concept of due process involves a pay to play scheme, but the results are a magnitude more awful than Google banning you, and the prices at play are a magnitude beyond what most businesses have the guts to ask for.
