I'll try to practice some charitable interpretation[0] and point out that she might not mean this in the sense of "small companies can't undermine democracy." Rather, I see this making sense if we consider it to be about how companies providing platforms and tools for mass information will always exist, as it makes economic sense for them to exist. But at the same time, if these companies are small, their platforms are prone to be attacked and abused by adversaries. And they need to have a certain size to stand a change against there adversaries, to be able to protect the people from them.
