    This is playing the referees. The concentration of power in the platforms is concerning. The odds of a government take-over is zero. The odds that platforms will shy away from fixing abuses on their tools go up, though. Big corporations aren't the home of the brave.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1035946893237542913 …

    Today in conservatism Laura Ingraham suggests it may be time for the government to take over Facebook and Twitter and run them as public utilities to eliminate bias against conservatives. pic.twitter.com/Ib5fLOYwQJ

        Can’t we just drop a nuke on Fox News as a courtesy to the entire planet ?

        What about Congress doing it's job? What about having the FCC take over Fox News? What about Laura Ingram seeking actual therapy? What about the Kremlin taking over Facebook and Twitter?

        But she’s shrewd for widening the Overton window to include that alternative.

        Could it just be that the current conservatism is just off course? The government (conservative) has to step in and nationalize social media platforms? Sounds a little like wanting to rig the system. Isn’t it the GOP and conservatives that believe in Laissez-faire? @FoxNews
