There could be a good argument made that certain mega platforms on the internet with a billion users like Facebook, Google, Youtube, Twitter etc should be considered infrastructure parts of the internet. They should provide unbiased content from the world's population. They aren't content creators, they are avenues for content to be distributed to society.
The Libertarian in me totally disagrees. There's always Bing or DuckDuckGo or something else if you don't like Google. None of these services will be "free" but there is definitely a choice. You don't HAVE to use Facebook.

Unless the government puts up a non-biased search engine, you just have to choose which one fits your needs the best. This is a service provided by a company. It just happens to be REALLY useful, so a lot of people use it.
