It this point, they should just be regulated by the various world governments.
Though I don't like a world where google can override a given countries law, or googles tries to solve the issue for union of all the worlds government laws.
I also don't like the possibilites of hidden metrics driving things that have such huge social implications.

If 95% of your internet traffic goes through a search box or algorithm... And you spend 6 hours a day on the internet... And you're not savvy to these issues (as our readers are)... That's almost 50% of waking life spent consuming manufactured data which your brain (on some level) interprets as "real" without question. Terrifying.
