The Government should stay out of private company business. But a company can become so big - and so influential - that it essentially becomes a monopoly. Then the Government should consider regulating it. Is YouTube essentially a monopoly?
If someone said yes, I’d be in no mood to disagree. Same goes for Twitter.
I don't think either is a monopoly, but I'm game - there are anti-trust laws dating back to the 19th century to allow the government to go after monopolies. If Attorney General Barr wants, he can bring a suit under the Sherman Antitrust Act against both or either -- he hasn't done so, which I think is telling.
