I actually don't think they can name the company directly. If I remember right that's unconstitutional.

I cannot imagine why that would be unconstitutional, please explain it to me.

Not American, but that doesn't sound right... whose rights are being violated in that case? A multinational corporation?

I can see why you shouldn't name an actual person, though.

Our Corporations have the same rights we do with one exception. If my rights and my employer's rights come into conflict, say on religious freedom, I'm forced to accept the corporation's right to force me into religious practice. So they have first class and we have second class.
