No, in very real terms you cannot hold an American corporation responsible for anything any more than you could a Chinese or Russian one.

Individual citizens simply do not have the means, and the consequences for trying are life-alteringly severe. In fact the situation is even worse. If you tried to sue a Chinese company as an American citizen, you'd be laughed at and nothing more. If you tried to sue an American corporation, they have the option to either counter-sue, or drag things out so long that the legal fees bankrupt you, or win the case with their armies of lawyers and demand compensation from you that bankrupts you.

A private American citizen simply cannot hold an American corporation responsible. Our legal system is designed to ensure this.
