Sounds like a dangerous game
They also control most on line transactions, like paypal... So what do we do, are these the new form of monopolies? Its like uncharted territory where everyone they want can have access and as long as people say what they want to say.
It is so funny how the left complained so long about AM radio and worked hard to control/limit the "Republicans" on it and that is like nothing compared to what social media represents.

Think ahead just a bit. This is absurd.

If anything is done I would rather see them forced to not regulate, protect them as a third party but let anyone say what they want within the letter of the law.

So ... some of you want to see Disney, TImeWarner, NewsCorp and the others (you know, the Big Six? be subjected to greater government regulation and control?
Who's going to make those laws? The Democrats if they take back the Senate? What about the next Democratic President? Gosh, I wonder if they'll have any political axes to grind.
Where does it stop? How about local newspapers and blogs. Should DOJ chase them down as well to regulate them according to the wishes of whoever sits in the White House or controls Congress?
Think ahead just a bit. This is absurd.

Disney in particular is already under the control of the Chinese government. That would be too many cooks in the kitchen.

It’s not within the letter of the law to publish false statements.
That’s usually called fraud.
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right
