YouTube, Facebook, etc. should be classified as common carries and treated like the phone company.

"YouTube, Facebook, etc. should be classified as common carriers and treated like the phone company."

Been saying this for years. They are effectively a monopoly or trust.

Liberals used to love busting those up.

Now that they are used to actually SUPPRESS conservative voices, they are an unaccountable machine.

Very dangerous for a free democracy or republic.

Sure, Google could say you could always use Bing, but how long until Bing pulls the same censoring of conservatives crap?

Agreed. Either regulate them as utilities or break them up under anti-trust.

Those are private businesses and they are permitted to discriminate on the basis of political ideology. If you don’t like freedom you could travel to North Korea.

#Internet Bill of Rights

Trump wants to address this by making Google and Twitter Public Utilities and regulate them through the FTC.
