RE: Regulate Google, Facebook, and Twitter as Public Utilities? Bad Idea.
Most certainly a terrible idea, we cant trust Facebook to enforce free speech, how can we trust the same government trying to quell dissent?
Facebook can only control speech on their platform. That's not really a problem now because there are plenty of platforms (including this one). The heavy hand of government regulation could change all that.
For certain that would be an extreme level of encroachment on their part.. After all if that does happen whats to stop them from creating backdoors to spy on every individual? Not even creating backdoors, but having legal access to everyones private data, communicating habits and connections. It's dangerous as hell.
