Is it time to treat internet providers and platforms as public utilities and regulate?

This is the end goal for the likes of facebook regulation. This is their holy grail.

Regulate them and you recognise them as the defacto internet, stifle competition in the market allowing FB et al. to consolidate their position further. Why else do you think they are being so openly biased they are trying to bait Trump into pushing for regs.

James Corbett did a great piece on this a few months ago.
