The United States is neoliberal with a couple social programs tacked on top. The interests of capital nearly always win. Individuals at the top are nearly always shielded from liability using various levels of companies in between them and the "consumer" and plausible deniability. The typical worst-case scenario is that the company has to pay a large fee that is still smaller than the profits they made through their monstrous actions. These are well-known forces that have acted this way for 150 years. Unfortunately, these systemic problems are not taught in school. Quite the opposite, they are treated more as minor aberrations that are fixed with a touch of social democratic intervention or regulation. And even that is considered an extremist position, extending to all kinds of subjects relevant to this community regarding how tech companies should be structured, labor organized, compensation structured (including healthcare), or even just having more coherent and explicit control over your personal data.
