Companies treated as people

I’ve heard this about the US but never had it explained to me. What does it mean and are there any examples of this happening I can look into?

Basically this is just a way for corporations to get special treatment. People have a lot of rights that are beneficial to them to protect them. Companies don’t have as many rights, and tend to have regulations targeted towards them. For example as a person I have the freedom to say “Cap’n Crunch cures cancer”, but if Quaker Oats said the same thing they would probably be fined by the FDA, and told to stop.
