No thats not what we're talking about.

Please elaborate on the times when a large institution restricted peoples freedom for their "own good." The history of this is extremely clear. Software being involved is just an obscuring detail.

Most corporate stuff is a mixed bad. They usually have to do some good things or they wouldn't exist. Apple for example.
