While Republicans are saying 'the market will work things out' Democrats are looking to force Facebook to be regulated by Democrats' standards.
Mind you, I don't want the government to regulate websites.
However, Democrats do and they're leading the charge. If they succeed, they will get to set the rules.
If we don't get in the game and we keep waiting for 'the invisible hand' to sort things out, Democrats will write the rules for the internet and Conservatives and Republicans are going to be excluded.

The Democrat is throwing a tantrum. Tough. He needs to re-read the First Amendment. He works as a Congressional Representative. Specifically, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Facebook is part of the press. Congress is expressly prohibited from making laws that "regulate" the press.

Facebook is a big nugget useful idiocy.
The Left salivates for control of it.

Facebook will find no allies.
They’ve spent all this time suppressing conservative speech on their platform; they should not expect any supporters from the right.
They will be hung out to dry, as they hung us out to dry. The boot of the government will crush them....and no one will care.
They that sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

NOTHING can be trusted to regulate itself except for some moral individuals. Our society has now become criminogenic; having set out any number of exemplars of reward for criminal activity. Only fools follow the law now.

Be very careful. Giving the govt control does not usually work out well

I agree 100% with you.
When I initially read the headlines, I thought that maybe the democrats are right on the issue. However as the power hungry villains that they are, any changes to FB will be twisted to their own wicked ways while turning it even more oppressive to conservative & republicans.

While I agree in principle that the lack of effective monetary flow through an entire society is a bad bad thing long term, democrats have shown repeatedly that their attempts to solve it have reduced the flow of capital, particularly to the lowest socioeconomic classes.
Industries never self regulate, thats a right wing myth. Industries have shown again and again when when left to self regulate, they do not.. then they get chastised for it.. back off only to do it again and the cycle repeats until government ends up regulating them.

I agree, social media won’t regulate themselves. What I don’t get is that this DEMOCRAT is whining about it? Social media is sooooooooooo much in bed with the ‘rats that I don’t understand the issue. Perhaps this ‘rat wants tighter, socialist controls.
