Extra rights for politicians should not be a principle in a democratic society.

I completely agree with you on this point, however the alternative should not be 'everyone is at the mercy of the management of private companies'.

There should be a due process (and recourse) at the very least for public figures, and this should not be held privately by corporations but in front of a court.

Silencing politicians is the same as silencing their constituents
I agree with this. That's how representative democracy works.
