It's different for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the global nature of these internet behemoths. Increasingly these large organizations are seemingly stateless. Consider Peter Theil's (Paypal) proposed Libertarian Island (you can read mk's take on that here and it seems to me that they will eventually exist outside of regulation. That's a scary thing imo. While we all want a free and largely unregulated Internet, we also don't want a select few handling all the data/money. Bad stuff could come of such things.
