It is not "both siding".
I do not want corporations acting as government regardless of whose side they are on.
I do not want to normalize or encourage such regulation by corporation.
If some behavior is so bad, advocate for a law against it or for the enforcement of that law.
If it is not so bad, let it exist even if you don't like it.
The whole thing about rule by the people is that having individuals or small groups that get to arbitrarily make rules and enforce them is bad. Monarchy and despotism is bad, whether or not you like what they're doing.
Despotism by corporation is just as bad and shouldn't be encouraged. It's not different because you're trying to get them to arbitrarily create rules that agree with you.
