If only we had an executive branch focused on removing government regulation of business, and the deconstruction of the administrative state...

I find it ironic that while he wants Facebook and Google regulated like utilities, he also supports getting rid of Net Neutrality.
If we could regulate ISPs as utilities first, that would be great.
Doesn't mean the idea itself is wrong, even if the author is a hypocrite. I don't care really about American politics, but Google and Facebook are dangerously big. I believe Europe should have some protectionism mechanism like China or some other countries to make sure social networks and search engines emerge from Europe. But where do you draw the line between that and censorship? The internet has given a new meaning to national borders or the lack of.
I agree, especially seeing how google interfered in the syrian war, and worked with prism to spy on europeans.
I suspect he sees Google and Facebook as a threat to his breitbart empire, since there's calls to remove ads from fictitious news articles.
