I think that a better comparison to power companies is ISPs. Your ISP is a utility and natural monopoly, much like the power company. They shouldn’t be allowed

Unless we want to start considering platforms like Facebook public spaces subject to all generalised government regulations for those spaces.

People have to be oh so slightly more active in seeking out his content now.
