Exact match? Unlikely. But suppose that with each tax return, everybody had the option of listing 5 corporations which they believed were doing more harm than good. It would be simple statistics to determine if the signal was strong enough to warrant action. As for mine, well I'd have to do a bit of research but they'd likely come be in defense, oil, or adtech.

Perhaps we also could list 5 which we think are having a positive impact. The assets of the bad ones could be auctioned off to the good ones, the money made from that auction could go towards severance for anyone whose job was dissolved.
