In your first response, you defend the idea that tech companies have more power than the US government. In your second response, you decry the power the US government has.

Pick one.

The government can still abuse its power even if corporations have more power in terms of the influence they have, that's not even a contradiction, those two things can be true at the same time.

Also this also makes sense if you consider revolving door politics and the merger of corporation and state that happened the last 50 years.
