This is not about data that is private, it's not a 'copy of your private data against your wishes', it's research access to public data that has impact on civil society due to the outsized impact on daily life some multinationals have.
As for 'liberty': corporations are not people, if anything, society should be free to not have commercial meddling involved in their life. As with everything else there is a gradient here, it's not some extreme choice there either everything is allowed or nothing is allowed. But messing with society is something that is worth preventing, intentional or not. It takes data and research to do that. In most cases, public data, and that is what this is about.
