If you regulated Facebook in the way that the telephone was regulated, it would essentially become a requirement to use Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account and would very much object to regulating Facebook in a way that our local governments would suddenly be validated to use.
Telephones connected people in a specific way because there weren't really alternatives. Not sure that entirely applies to Facebook.

If you're an AT&T user, you can talk to Verizon users just fine even though you might not like Verizon as a company. ---------------------------------------- [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31579553 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31579553
