It is not part of the legislative process in western liberal states to introduce laws that target specific named corporations or individuals separately to their peers.
This mechanism is sometimes used by totalitarian or very authoritarian regiemes as a form of window dressing to justify punishing corporations and individuals who displease the government. And of course these punishements are always justified by some appeal to "protecting citizens" - both Hitler and Stalin constantly used this as justification.
I like the fact that I live in a country where I can be punished for breaking actual laws not one where laws are vague or can be applied whimsically based on a notion of "spirit" or the intension of the drafter of the law instead of what the words of the law state.

Leave or do something to change the status quo. Those are your options.
