1. Yes and no. Look at how the world's autocrats are using facebook: As a propaganda machine with their troll army, they kick it out of their country or shut it down when convenient and facebook is OK with it (e.g. on Turkey). FB has no spine. So some regulation would actually hold the governments accountable for their abuses. 2. Thats because facebook transgresses common decency. People dont argue politics with base insticts in a parliament. 3. The solution is not to dump their externalities to the public forever. The whole idea of "social media" as mob media is ill-thought.
