General jurisdiction allows a state to have power over a company that does business there, even if the case has nothing to do with the state. Recently, more cases are using this type of jurisdiction when a company registers to do business in a state. This can be helpful in certain situations, but having unlimited general jurisdiction is not good and can violate rights. A state can only make a company give up rights if it is related to the company's activities in the state and is fair. Sometimes, it makes sense for a state to have jurisdiction, like when the person suing is from that state. But in other cases, it's not fair for the state to demand jurisdiction just because a company does business there.
