What's the difference? AFAICT the idea that when a website gets big enough it becomes de facto infrastructure and gets governed by different rules is pure imagination.
There are rules that treat telecoms differently precisely because there is opportunity for market failure.
The argument is, that some software companies have crossed into becoming a telecom like entity. A market failure exists, where consumers may need protecting.
Obviously, current laws dont treat facebook, google, or microsoft that way.
Do we feel the same way about gmail/outlook starting to censor emails that google/microsoft dont approve of?
