“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can't find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can't muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren't businesses making tough choices – they're paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

Mitt Romney was a corporate raider before getting into politics. He ran for US president in the 2012 campaign, and in 2011 he told some hecklers that "corporations are people, my friend" and it's been clowned on ever since, even though the government treats it as true when it benefits corporations.
