Attorney General Jeff Sessions is reportedly considering an investigation into the social media giants, according to Bloomberg.

Sessions will have a meeting with the state attorney generals from Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas later this month, all of whom have been reviewing the sites’ practices. The meeting is intended to determine whether “there’s a federal case to be made against companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Facebook, and Twitter for violating consumer or antitrust laws,” according to Bloomberg.

“Those are the kind of resources that we’re going need to break these companies up,” Louisiana AG Jeff Landry stated in an interview with KEEL News Radio 710. “The problem is they’ve got no competition.”

Their competition are ordinary conservatives... and their own evil that drives them to hold others in contempt.

Exactly. They’ve got no competition and they very much are exercising editorial control contrary to their claims. Time for a DOJ antitrust action and some nice hefty regulation.

If Sessions is being advised by a bunch of Obama holdover DOJ lawyers, I wouldn't trust anything that he does.

They're the ones who advised Sessions to recuse himself and they didn't advise Rosenstein to recuse himself.

Not true. They do have competition. The trouble is people don’t know about it and even if they do they don’t want to strike out on their own and try to reestablish their networks.

I think that fits into the definition of NOT having competition.

Maybe a sharp probe will wake Sessions up.
