Fun things. Though I'm not sure if anything like this is necessary even. Considering how much people tend to care about what these companies are doing and are willingly putting everything into their hands.
Now to be fair, I can't really blame people that much. There is a lot to worry about and care about in this world, especially with the 247 news blasting us from every direction about disasters, wars, tensions, climate change etc. You have limited about of "caring" in you and gotta filter out the rest of the shit to keep your sanity. Tech companies are probably nor very high in the list. Which is why the big boys like governments and EU etc should do the heavy lifting but yeah, that has been going really well for the past 20 years.
