Most privacy practitioners would not consider a legal entity to have privacy rights. Rather, a legal entity may have trade secrets or contractual confidentiality protections. However, in its novel holding, the Third Circuit found that a corporation (AT&T) was protected by an exemption in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that applies to “unwarranted invasions of personal privacy.” Specifically, FOIA exempts “records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent that the production of such law enforcement records or information … could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy…”(emphasis added). This exemption, combined with FOIA’s definition of “person” to include legal entities, enabled AT&T to successfully argue that a corporation has a right to privacy. (After all, the court said, “it would be very odd indeed for an adjectival form of a defined term not to refer back to that defined term.”) As a result, AT&T’s competitors have not been able to obtain information about an FCC investigation of AT&T regarding AT&T’s alleged overcharging of some of its customers.

Fuck it. Ammend the damn constitution to say that a "person" is defined as a corporate entity and not an individual human - thus stripping biological people of all rights in the US and handing them over to corporations. The way things are now, not much would change at this point if that were to happen in the US.
