I'm not answering your questions because they are stupid and you are just trying to cause inaction by being overly verbose.

> But first, no one was talking about Apple and Netflix teaming up.

I said Apple instead of Facebook to show how needlessly pedantic you are. There is absolutely no difference between Apple and Facebook here the point is the scale of the company (as I have said)

I wish you to have a needlessly pedantic life and I hope we never cross paths again.

and you still didn’t answer my very real questions.

If the US bans vertical integration for companies headquartered in the US, do they also block people from accessing content over the internet that is produced by vertically integrated players that is created overseas?

Exactly what type of content should not be allowed to be self distributed? News? Religious content? Fictional content? Documentaries? Trailers? Physical goods?

Do you want the government deciding what private corporations can distribute over the internet and do you want to block foreign content that doesn’t follow those rules?

It must be really hard to navigate the world when you think there should be never changing rules for every possible situation.

I feel really sorry for you and anyone who things that laws are IFTTT style rules.

Hope you find happiness at some point

And you still didn’t answer the question. Do you think that government regulators should block foreign content on the internet if they find that content producers are also distributors?

Where do yoh draw the line about what type of media should be able to be distributed on the internet?

Are you going to fine companies for putting their own content on thier own website without going through an intermediary and how does that help consumers when every part of the delivery chain is also going to want to make a profit and thus increasing prices?

I did answer the question, your questions are stupid and don't deserve an answer.
Just maybe your ideas weren’t fully thought out?
My ideas are fleshed out just fine, you are being needlessly pedantic. Noone needs to enumerate every contingency to agree with a law passing or being enforced.

You live in a fantasy world.
