This may apply in theory, but the truth is that these corporations have grown in power - beyond what a regular private organization can do. Facebook is the new default forum on which society communicates, they, in practice, control so much of what we see and say. We can't keep treating them like they're the local butcher shop down the road. They are integral institutions in our civilization now. They need to be held accountable when they deny people their rights.
