Better Congress that operates under the US constitutions and bi-annual elections than shareholders, no?
I don’t want to put words in your mouth, so correct me if I am wrong. You are saying that shareholders ought to hold this immense power that say Facebook has to move elections?

Certainly, if the alternative is that those in government get to wield it instead. I would wager I've considerably more trust in government and politicians than average - I do believe that in the main they're working very hard for what they perceive to be the greater good - but I draw the line at the politicians getting to directly control the political media.
Part of this is that I don't think Facebook's power alone is "immense" - but if you had all of the large media centrally controlled then you'd be getting there.
The very idea completely compromises those "bi-annual elections". How can you effectively challenge the state when all the large media is state-controlled?
You mean the same government where Montana has just as many Senators as California and the person who won the popular vote in 2016 lost the Presidential election?
And the fact that the US is not a representative democracy and the small states have much more representation in government than their population should allow?
