If exploitive or discriminatory practices exist, it's for our laws and courts to lay out the framework to address this and redress those impacted. If we have unaccountable agencies in government there should be mechanisms to dissolve them. I'm not saying this is what will happen, but the aim should be decentralizing power.
If there are failings in government, it's best to address the problems there. I'm not saying corporations won't expand its power over government if given the ability to do so, it's absolutely in its best interest to do so. The issue is they shouldn't be able to in the first place. A corporation is in essence an absolute dictatorship, and really shouldn't be given the power to exert an ideology over anything other than the purview of running the organization.
This doesn’t mean that companies have to change their tune but it doesn’t mean that they are absolved of the consequences of their decisions.
