It's important not to run so fast from 1984 that one runs into Snow Crash.

If corporations are setting morality apart from the law, they become another authority. Then we have a different set of problems; at least in some countries, the government authority is elected. CEOs aren't elected by the people, and the emperor has nothing on the whims of Jeff Bezos or Jack Dorsey.

Both are problematic and both are occurring right now.
