How many mentions do companies get in national constitutions ?

They're not mentioned one single time in the US or the Danish Constitutions, yet, both countries they more or less run government now.

UN's human rights don't mention them either.

Companies have no claim to human rights, like privacy, because they are not humans.

And if you think all humans, no matter what, should have a universal, unabbridgable right to privacy: Vote in your elections, and if nobody is worthy of your vote, get yourself elected instead.

But right now there are fully valid laws that says certain classes of humans do not get privacy, and the government which enacted those laws are legit, elected and have every right to enforce their laws.

I get that at the moment some don't get privacy. I meant the "deserve it the least" part. It seems to contradict "It's not my opinion that certain people don't deserve privacy".

I don't think deserving privacy has a scale. I understand your "deserve least" as "I'd rather they didn't have privacy". Feel free to correct me.
