Maybe with less actual people involved, governments will be less opposed to scaling back the egregious level of surveillance such corporations are allowed.

Who am I kidding, though?

I could see that happening, its probably what holds a lot of States and Countys back.

A lot of States are happy not to have a large corporations tax, because they get their share through another means, say income, or land tax. Which they charge employed persons, if a company doesn't employ many people, then they will be less value to a State like that.
