>> You prefer giving more control to politicians than to corporations (which is a false dilemma anyway) because you believe politicians at least answer to the people.

Your statement about the rational is correct; they see corporations as evil and politicians -- so long as they're Democrats -- as altruistic.

But the reality is that corporations are far more accountable to the people than politicians could ever be. When A&E went after the Duck Dynasty a few weeks ago the retribution was swift and unforgiving. A&E caved. Same when Food Network went after Paula Deen, but the number of people who responded was smaller. Target, which didn't adequately protect its customer's data, is feeling the pain right now. When Apple blew it on the Maps, it had to handle it.

Markets at work and they work one hell of a lot better than politicians do.
