→Anti-Trust and Section 230
Another proposal is to alter or repeal [[Section 230]] of the Communications Decency Act, which would dramatically increase the amount of litigation against these companies if they didn't put an end to these practices.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/19/18271487/josh-hawley-senator-missouri-republican-facebook-google-antitrust-data-privacy SEN.

==Information control==
In 2018, the Pew Research Center found that “about two-thirds of U.S. adults (68%) get news on social media sites. One-in-five get news there often.“ The combination of Facebook, Google and Twitter controls the information received by huge numbers of Americans, Pew found. “Facebook is still far and away the site Americans most commonly use for news. About four-in-ten Americans (43%) get news on Facebook. The next most commonly used site for news is YouTube [owned by Google], with 21% getting news there, followed by Twitter at 12%.”<ref>https://www.journalism.org/2018/09/10/news-use-across-social-media-platforms-2018/</ref>
