Its the wrong question. If a monopoly exists, you have an issue. Barriers of entry are high. Impossibility is not a necessity.

And Net neutrality is a totally different thing. Its about priority service.

What barriers to entry are there to starting a video streaming site? Very few. What Jones wants is access to all the people that those companies have on their platforms. People and traffic that all 3 companies spent literally billions collecting.

And I'm glad that since impossibility is not a necessity, that we can get all the hospitals that don't have competition to provide admitting rights for abortion providers. I'm thinking that its about as hard for Alex Jones to create a new fb, than it would be for an abortion provider to gain access to some (loosely affiliated ) religious hospital in a one hospital town.

Demanding fb, Youtube, and Apple broadcast Alex Jones is about the same as demanding Sinclair and Fox News allow liberals to just take over a part of their prime time broadcast for their own purposes.

Texas's restriction on abortions got partly reversed because there were no alternatives in some parts of the state.

You are totally missing the boat on your last paragraph. Those channels are not treated like media. They have a more favorable liability and less requirements for opposing viewpoints because they proclaim themselves a carrier, not actual media. They want all the benefits and none of the downsides while maintaining a near monopoly.

There's plenty of alternatives to fb youtube and apple. They just don't have the audience that those three have. There's no monopoly.

There were lots of alternatives to Ma Bell. They were just tiny, so it was still a monopoly.
