It is good, but also it can be, and is being, heavily abused. It is too much power to already mega-powerful corporations.

The exact same could be said about Freedom of Speech itself. Or any other fundamental freedom/privilege for that matter. Potential for abuse is grounds for mitigation, not wholesale curtailment.
No because Freedom of Speech is a fundamental individual right. It should never be limited or restricted. A strong country will prevail over abusers in this case (think when America abolished slavery, segregation...). It is a compass for long term survival.
How is it being abused and how would one fix it?
