Wouldn't it be nice if there were companies that are owned by humanity in the sense that they are managed by democratic decisions where every person in the world has one equally weighted vote?

Here, various aspects of this idea can be discussed in detail.

If a project is managed by democratic decisions made by the public, how can the privacy of those involved be protected? (lemmy.ml)

A high degree of transparency is necessary for a “company owned by humanity” to be managed by the public. When such a company hires people or serves customers, how can their right to privacy be protected? How should sensitive information and company secrets be handled?

Perhaps a hybrid solution would be appropriate where there are several chat groups, some of which are public and others only used by closed groups within the community. I would favor such a decentralized approach where there is no central chat group for all participants, but rather people organize themselves into smaller groups.
