Lets regulate the Internet

 So said a TV ad on Fox News.  It said something like "We have been improving the technology of the Internet for 25 years.  It is now time to improve the regulation of the internet."  Then in smaller type it said "This ad paid for by Facebook".   Facebook has gotten so big and bought up or run out of business all its competitors.  They own the social media business lock stock and barrel.  What kind of regulation could Facebook want?  

   I suppose they might like some regulations supporting or requiring everyone to censor Republican posts.  Facebook is doing it, and taking some heat about their censorship.  Perhaps they think the regulator could take the heat off of them.
