So, you prefer that they peddle in political influence in ways other than money instead? Things that are harder to track and follow? Because companies as large as Google cannot afford not to.
I would set up a dedicated department whose entire job is to watch Google - and only Google - like a hawk. Same with FB.
Alas, I am not actually running the show, so for now I would just like people to realize that we're all in a big hole here and they should stop digging.
I’d be okay with this as long as you also banned these companies from assembling, allowing all employees to telework.
