Nestle? Spectrum? Some random company nobody knows about?
Ok so Nestle for child murder, Bayer for AIDs blood, Union Carbide for Bhopal disaster and its parent Dow Chemical for Agent Orange (Monsanto too).
IBM for helping the Nazis with concentration camps and Degesch for Zyclon B. United Fruit Company and Dutch & British East India Companies for colonization, also everyone that was shipping rubber out of the Belgian Congo.
Everyone who makes landmines, cluster bombs, etc.
I think when this question is asked in 100 years Palantir is going to feature.
What about the South Sea Company?
This is the answer, hands down.
Please take my upvote.
Stone Mountain Coal Company and the Baldwin–Felts Detective Agency
Cliff notes?
Dutch East India Company - The original corporate raiders.
MASS ATROCITIES!
They are the Bug Bad Evil in my pirate themed DnD campaign. Or a proxy of them at least. What better justification for becoming a pirate than them? To quote a real pirate captain from the 1700, “They rob the poor under cover of law, we plunder the rich under the cover of our own courage.”
That’s a 10/10 quote
And no. 2 is The British East India Company
Yea I probably got them mixed up. The British one is what I meant. It’s probably number 1?
No lol you are right, the Dutch one was worse
came here to say this. though if American slave traders had actually been a unified corporation I’d be pointing at them.
Google
They made private data the „new gold“ which it is today long before social media started exploiting it. Changing their motto /code of conduct „Don’t be evil“ into „Do the right thing“ (for our shareholders) didn’t benefit their reputation either…
Changing their motto /code of conduct „Don’t be evil“ into „Do the right thing“ (for our shareholders) didn’t benefit their reputation either…
It’s still in their code of conduct, though.
Only as a joke.
I’m guessing it would some of the big companies of colonial times, like the British East or Dutch India Companies.
Johnson&Johnson
swindled does a few episodes about them. It’s FUCKING INFURIATING the shit they got away with.
get away with FTFY
Damn you right.
Everyone’s already mentioned some of the more popular ones so I’ll throw coke in their for the whole Columbian death squad and workers right violations in south America as well as Amazon. I don’t think I need to explain that last one.
Unquestionably, the Dutch East India Company
A lot of good choices here already so ill throw blackrock into the ring
long island jewish northwell 23 hospital monopoly chemically tortured me October 2005 for being bisexual, 2013 and 2014 banned Quran, July 2019 “Muslims, Blacks are a delusion,” May 24, 2020 liquid poison and religious interrogation for questioning overdose death of African American; has admitted stalker gang member employees; 9/5/2022 perjured 10 times rather than listen to my Advance Directive or history, 9/26/22 11 AM doctor and staff pushed me for no reason while hands in the air; contempt of court overdosing for 2 months ending with will “destroy your ambition” to marry a foreigner.
I’m sure there are worse, and it’s not one company, but the companies that provide malware to dictatorships are pretty bad, and western countries are sheltering them/not doing much about them.
Examples:
- NSO Group (Pegasus)
- HackingTeam
- Gamma/Lench/Vilicius (FinFisher)
Pegasus is bad news.
Nice! I didn’t even consider digital terrorism
USA
Lemmy moment
So many to choose from…
My pick would be Bank of America for their illegal foreclosure practices which have ruined many families’ lives, and especially for their role in the subprime mortgage crisis which destabilized the entire global economy and which we are still trying to recover from. Everyone on the entire planet was impacted by the Great Recession.

Nestlé!
Nestlé is responsible for misleading African mothers into thinking formula is better than their own breast milk. They lied to expectant mothers just to sell formula.
Was a golden strategy though, give young mothers just enough formula to “try out” so they stop producing milk themselves and now they have to buy their formula. How could there be anything wrong with that? /s
