[QUOTE="Albion, post: 72679766, member: 93831"] They're still subject to the usual monopoly rules, aren't they? AT&T was already broken up before the net became an issue, and then they clawed their way back for some reason I do not get. Well, that it will change if the Democrats were to prevail on this matter is what the Republicans say. And there is no doubt about the partisan sympathies of both Facebook and Google (as well, I suppose, of Twitter), so this is probably correct. I agree to that. The various sources that might be impartial that I have found somewhere or other seem to be saying that, if NN goes through, X might happen, but it also might happen if NN fails to go though--and that the other way around is also possible. I can believe that, but as I said before, I can stomach that. It is not a new phenomenon. But I am genuinely alarmed about these private companies [B][I]censoring[/I][/B] the socio-political contributions of private individuals as they have begun to do. This is a formula for controlling the outcome of elections. [/QUOTE]
