In a world of imperfect systems and fallible humans, it's over-idealistic to say "Don't fight evil with evil". Simplistic, even. It's a counter-productive moral high horse because you can always find dirt on any authority that can help you. Even if I believe the police is corrupt, if I get mugged on the street, you can bet I'm going to the police for help. That is not mutually exclusive to my belief that the police, as an organization, abuses power. Government granted these tech giants the necessary permits to operate (to say the least), and can penalize them based on the law. It just makes sense that the power to regulate rests on this government too. Now how government should reign in these companies is another topic and that's the part where moral vigilance comes into play.
