Haha, this does make me laugh a bit. They've not been doing antything illegal (they almost certainly have fwiw) because they've been the ones capturing regulations and massive influencing laws.
Furthermore they've violated plenty of consumer protection laws in countries where those are strong, so the entire premise doesn't hold up.
I meant property rights violations generally. The consumer agreed to something which they didn’t provide. If the consumer simply wasn’t served better than he could have, that may violate some non-objective law, but not the consumer’s property rights.
Their violations is the same kind of persecution that minority group face, such as with gay marriages. The laws are written specifically to target them.
Influencing the law can be quite different. Lobbying is legal, other kinds of peddling are not. If they exceeded their legal limits (or whatever, I’m not into it) and, in fact, took the role of an aggressor, that would be a problem and the government would have to sue them. Even in this case, destroying them should be the very last resort, not the norm.
