Regulate Google, Facebook, and Twitter as Public Utilities? Bad Idea.

by
from from FEE on (#40PG8)

A case in point is the Internet, specifically websites such as Twitter, Google, and Facebook. Many conservatives believe these companies are politically biased and are "censoring" conservative content in various ways or promoting their opponents. They propose increased government regulation of these companies. They are said to be "public utilities" that require the hand of government a little heavier on their shoulder than other businesses.

Personally, I can readily believe these websites are biased and do discriminate against certain political views. But what should the government do about that? Should it do anything?
