Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash (www.windowslatest.com)

It's really not. A corporation is not a person.

A random person also does not have control over aspects of my life via lobbying and contracts I have no influence over. And if such a person existed (say billionaires) then it would absolutely be acceptable to go to their place and insult them. That's called protest.

This isn't people going and insulting innocent little Microsoft who hasn't done anything. Microsoft's behaviour is seen as unacceptable and people are speaking up.
