These companies are run by Corporatists. Unlike free-market capitalists, these Corporatists want a type of Socialism hidden behind the mask of a corporation. They seek a vertical monopoly where they aim to control the supply chain and therefore have huge power that goes beyond their industry. Of course they'd kick your ass if you fuck with their bottom line or image; wouldn't a Socialist state do the same?
Precisely why so many Corporatists champion leftist causes. They want the government to seize the means of production because the government works for them. Starting a small business in a competitive industry is the ultimate red pill delivery mechanism.
Indeed. For example, Facebook uses their enormous resources to lobby government to implement online "safety standards" that FB wrote up. These standards are high and would be a huge burden to upstart social media groups, but Facebook is already abiding by these dumbass standards that they want the government to codify into regulations! They want tremendous power, and few have the means or understanding to stand up to them.
