So the 'cheating' isn't cheating, but simply lobbying to maintain power. None of the points you made are inherit to illegal or even immortal acts, rather it's an issue of regulators and politicians not update all of the existing laws to account for the internet.

- Facebook doesn't have to deal with defamation lawsuits because they're not the ones making those defaming claims - it's the users posting them. With the scale of the world it literally isn't possible to have an anyone-can-post site that has to screen what its users write for legally risky text. That's bad for commerce and why section 230 exists.

- Amazon built its business on evading sales tax because sales tax didn't affect internet businesses for some reason. Governments had years to change their laws and impose it on them.
