The big issue, which I have received significant consternation of "ownership", is that these mega-corps are creating their own dictatorships online. And they are how "speech" is conducted, given their monopoly on where the people are.
The obvious and most consistent counterclaim is that these are "private entities who can choose whom to deal with".
That statement is predicated on the facetious assertion that a corporation is a human, and should be treated as such and provided latitude as one. It obviously is not. And with their clout in personnel, money, lawyers, and more - they are a uberhuman.
The path forward seems clear. Corporations should not be treated the same as real humans. And their powers should be limited to prevent these formations of super-countries with draconian and arbitrary laws, just because technology allows them so.
