What makes big business worse than a big corporation? If I don't like what a big corporation does, I can just boycott their products. If I don't like what a big government is doing, I still have to buy what they are selling or I go to jail...

If I tell a corporation to fuck off, I maybe get banned from their platform/service. If I tell the government to fuck off, sociopaths with guns will show up at my house to put me in a cage. I will take my chances with big business...

Yes. You could reject the large corporations offering internet access where you live. But you then lose access to the internet, because 22 states have banned municipal broadband, so you have no other options.

Who paid for those laws?

idk, but I will be fine without internet... I didn't have the internet until I was in my 20s... I was happier without it tbh. I don't own a TV or have cable either. I am banned off social media, so they kind of forced the boycott on me. I will survive.
