Out of curiosity, do you propose any remedy for companies being acting badly? What would you do, if anything, to curb companies doing things like what FB does? What sort of organizations have a role in watching over private companies, informing the public about their activities, and provide guidance on corrective actions?
I haven't been able to think of solutions that aren't worse than what they're doing. I'm extremely wary of the government forcing Facebook to behave a certain way because of the First Amendment.

I like the free market when it works, and think it should be regulated when it fails. So I'm not really a government versus free market person.
What is a massive red flag to me is the government telling a business what they can and can't publish. Putin, for example, loves to do that.
