Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, because of the power they have acquired and the way they operate, corporations pose the greatest threat to human rights, a threat which the European Commission is trying to counter with legislation. In their harmful activities, corporations benefit from the support of states, the media and various NGOs, corrupted in order to minimize or conceal the numerous human rights violations. Against the backdrop of this situation, in which multinational corporations evade various sanctions through agreements with the criminal authorities and the payment of fines, protection is granted to some quite striking aspects: the right to death, the right to desecrate religious or classical cultural premises and objects, all this taking place within the context of the need to belong to social networks and to parallel, simulated universes, membership conditional, however, on 'good behaviour' in cyberspace, i.e. good social ratings. All the above calls for urgent measures in order to introduce barriers in the Constitution against corporate abuse of power and the totalitarian use of corporate technological force.
