Y'know Doc, I see you writing what's essentially the same post over and over. It's basically: "Corporations, only use your newfound manipulative powers for Good instead of Evil. I SAY SO. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED YOU TO DO! Sez me. That's what I meant ...". There are so many stories with the plotline of powers given to an unworthy recipient who then proceeds to use them in a corrupt manner, it's sad you don't recognize when you're living out one (taking the above sentiment at face value, for the sake of discussion). Critics keep pointing this out to you, over and over. And you keep replying you're a nice guy and want lions and lambs to lay down together. And the critics respond that you're only leading lambs to the slaughter. And you say that's not what you meant to do. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
