Facebook, Google, Twitter, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube, the entire noxious gaggle of them. Something most individuals—on every segment of the political spectrum—agree needs to be done. Simply breaking up the so-called "tech giants" into dozens or hundreds of smaller companies could turn out to be a disaster—like using a nuclear weapon to defend the Earth from an oncoming asteroid, turning a single huge bullet into a lethal shotgun blast. Imagine a hundred thousand politically correct idiots controlling communications on this poor, battered planet.

And it worked so well for network television.

A far simpler, more effective approach is just to recognize reality: that any company, having humbly petitioned the government for special powers and immunities (that you and I don't have) through the process of incorporation, has become, in effect, an arm of that government. As such, it is fully subject to exactly the same limitations, under the Bill of Rights—and in particular, under the First Amendment—as any other arm of the government is supposed to be. The "Masters of the Universe" can no longer be permitted to control what you say or see online. That's what they all agreed to under the deeply-flawed Communications Decency Act.
