"Government" is a monopoly on the use of force. When a corporation gains monopoly power they also become more like a government in that you don't have the ability to not do business with them.
Think of it like Comcast: if you want someone else's Internet service, then you have to move to another town or state, which is significantly more expensive than just changing companies. Twitter isn't the best example since people have been able to switch to other platforms, but there are still occupations where interacting with it is basically mandatory. Better examples would be Apple or Google - if you decide to completely cut both of those companies off, you are cut off from modern life.
