All it takes is for your Secretary of State to REVOKE their Corporate Charter and they can STOP facebook and the scum zuckerberg in their tracks!!!
ALL Corporations need PERMISSION from EACH STATE TO OPERATE
OK I’m confused. Are saying that Facebook can’t operate in a state without the state’s permission?
So no one in Alabama is allowed to login to Facebook unless the state says it’s OK.
ALL Corporations are required by State Law to be registered in the State they wish to do business in. ANY STATE that REVOKES the Corporate Charter of a business can then SUE and PROSECUTE said Business for ILLEGALLY operating in their State.
So if a State revokes the Corporate Charter for Facebook, Facebook would be REQUIRED to cease all operations in that State or face CRIMINAL and CIVIL CHARGES.
Operating a Corporate Business is a PRIVILEGE, not a right, and it can be revoked for any damned reason the state chooses.
