Sorry, America (and NY Times), don't make this all about you. Facebook (and WhatsApp and Twitter and Google) have already significantly influenced the electorate of other nations with fake news and other such tactics. Look at the elections of more polarizing and more dangerous leaders before Trump in Turkey, Phillipines, India, et al. Good that you woke up now, but neutrality of the medium needs to be intact. In the long term, truth will win. More platforms, not more regulation is the answer.

How is more platforms going to create neutrality? Wouldn't governments put their bots on the new networks?

More platforms cannot ensure neutrality by itself; but can open options to relay voices that need to be put out.
