Personally I think all publicly traded companies should be partly owned by the people… Like sure you can have an IPO, and still make a zillion dollars… But society automatically owns a large enough share that you have to check with us before doing anything drastic
While I don’t disagree with you in principle, this begs definitions of what “us” and “anything drastic” means, which could vary to such an extent as to prove whatever law you’re proposing meaningless or to be so draconian as to stifle all technological progress.

That’s called taxes.
Lots of decisions are made with our taxes and we aren’t consulted.
That’s why the government owns us.
So maybe tax megacorps so much that they have to pay with shares?

Yeah… It would need to be fleshed out for sure
