Another amendment fix to save the USA (not that I expect any of these to ever happen, but at least it puts a potential path in the public zeitgeist for someone to pick up).

The Government Auxiliary Amendment

- Preamble

The dawn of the Information Age has brought many benefits to the American People, but also many grave concerns. Chief amongst these concerns is the increasingly government-like activity that massive Corporations like Meta, Google, and Amazon have exhibited. This, however, is not a surprise to anyone who has seen the internal communications between these companies and the federal government. This shows the concern with this corporate power: a corporate/government collusion apparatus. This apparatus is the sum of a system where the government gets the benefit of plausible deniability and to use the plausible deniability granted to circumvent limitations placed on it by the Constitution. In exchange, the corporations get to pick and choose candidates in order to receive favorable legislation in the form of bailouts, tax loopholes, or lop-sided law enforcement. In so doing this, the participating Corporations become a part of the government bureaucracy, with the ruling elite becoming increasingly indebted to these Corporations for their seats in power through election manipulation and the like.

- Amendment Text

Any Company, Business, Charitable Organization, or other Organization that has ever partaken in any of the following provisions will forever be considered a “government Auxillary” and, as such, be considered an arm of the government of the United States of America. This status thereby allows civil, criminal, and consitutional penalties to be levied against the Company or Organization the same way and for the same reasons as those penalties may be levied upon a person elected, appointed, or employed by the US Government or against a branch or agency thereof.

Activities that count a company or organization as a government auxiliary include the following:

1. Gathering, disseminating, tracking, or corroborating any information at the behest of any government agency or individual without being presented a warrant for such information. The exception to this rule is if the information being gathered is evidence of a known crime which the Company or Organization is looking to bring to court as a plaintiff.

2. Banning, blocking, denying access, or actively sabotaging a user’s ability to use and/or derive revenue from their service at the behest of any government branch, agency, or individual without having been presented a valid court order for said action.

3. Accepting any stimulus, bail-out, or any other form of payment or benefit from the US Government that is not directly a payment for goods or services rendered to the government (such as arms manufacturers accepting money for providing weapons to the US Department of Defense).

4. Lobbying for any law, provision, or agency directive that, by design, grants measurable benefit to one business or organization over another due to type (eg: solar energy vs petroleum) or by size (eg: a bill that would create compliance costs that would disproportionately harm smaller businesses over larger ones).

A company or organization classified as a “government auxiliary” under this provision will be subject to the following:

1. All government regulations and provisions, penalties for misconduct and constitutional violations, privacy protections of individuals’ personal information, and similar statutes will apply to the company or organization for as long as it remains a government auxiliary. US Persons may bring violations against them by a government auxiliary by the same process by which they may file similar suits against government entities in violation of the same regulations or statutes.

2. Admonishment by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. If a government auxiliary is admonished by the Supreme Court for gross violations of the Constitution or citizens’ constitutional rights, that company or organization can be forcibly dissolved and its assets sold at public auction.
