> Add to that corporations with more power than governments (Facebook,Amazon,Google)

Until one of the FAANGs get access and control to their own nuclear weapon and/or military - they unequivocally do not have more power than governments do.

Governments (in general) have a monopoly on the power to kill their citizens and (potentially) the citizens of other governments/countries. None of the FAANGs have that (that we know of).
