Maybe if you owned one you'd feel differently.

Can I reach into your backpack and crush your bag of potato chips?

What's the matter; all the baked potato material is still there!

If my bag of potato chips is demonstrably and deliberately harming the lives of many real live people, you are welcome to crush it.

(Not that all corporations harm people. But some combination of "the way we tend to structure them" and "human behavior in large groups" seems to make them a lot more cavalier about collateral harm and negative externalities, particularly as they get big.)

I'm pretty sure you can understand how much of a false equivalency it is to compare a bag of chips with a powerful entity like Google.
