It really would be a better exercise for you to think through how you would actually hold them accountable. What service do they provide, concretely? What are their SLAs? What does your contract with them say? Every service is a contract between a service provider and a paying customer. There is a specific set of parameters the service provider must adhere to. What would a contract with Facebook or Google and their non-paying customers look like? Should people pay for the service or should we expect Google to eat the cost? What is "news"? How do you know it when you see it? How do they detect fake news? What about all of the opinion pieces that appear on the Google News front page? Should those be included or excluded? Are we talking about white listing websites? Who controls that list and how do you get on it? Or, should Google hire people to filter the news for you? I am asking you to think about what you are proposing so that you can see that there are problems there, some of them big in scope. Considering think about it is not a solution.

I see you've asked another series of questions without answering the one posed. In many respects, this might be seen as changing the conversation to something within your realm instead of answering a question. > Really would be a better exercise for you to think through how you would actually hold them accountable. In short, the questions you've posed range from "bring your life experiences together" and "think through the specifics". I have, and my thoughts remain unchanged. Posing that many questions across such a broad range of subjects and varying levels of specificity might be seen as a disengenious way to continue the conversation. I have posed a straightforward question. Instead of an answer, I've received only other "thought provoking" questions. In response, that's how I arrived at my question to you, two responses ago. In the future, you might find better dialogue by answering questions posed.
