In the 90's, Democrats wanted to revive the "Fairness Doctrine" in response to Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's rise in popularity on talk radio. The Fairness Doctrine was in place at the FCC for parts of five decades, from 1949 to 1987. It will be interesting to see if interest is raised in reapplying a Fairness Doctrine today towards these companies, which may well need to be reclassified in some instances as communication utilities to be regulated. I personally think this is more likely for Facebook and Twitter than Google, but who knows. Another bigger situation could come into play if the infrastructure providers (AWS, Azure) start causing antitrust problems, but thankfully they do not seem to be a big issue yet. |
