The possibility of them 'being able to do that' is because of laws that got passed by democratically elected officials.

If you don't like that, vote someone in power who regulates that more.

The problem with these discussions is that nobody tells their opinions to their representative, they just blurt it out into the 'aether' on a rando internet forum.

True change starts with calling your representative. If they don't do what you ask them to, then have other people ask as well. Finally, have them vote them out of office if a sufficient ammount of people want the same thing that the representative won't do (eg. represent their constituents).
