Hmmm, telephone and long distance services, electric lines/power generation and distribution were all once private property. Yet, they became regulated as utilities.

In those cases, the physical disruption of laying multiple phone/power line grids was something we decided we wanted to avoid. No such physical disruption is required for new social media platforms.

They use cell towers which are regulated by the FCC. Therefore they can be regulated
