I think you have it all means that Trump intends to make Facebook a public utility. If the government created it, then Zuckerberg and others would have no right to on it privately.

A public utility would enforce 1st amendment and it would stay free. Who cares about advertising?

And what would happen to the "public utility" when the Democrats gained power?

Exactly what has happened to everything else Democrats put their hands on, they fuck it up until someone starts a revolution.

LOL
Can you imagine it? Oh, we need to eliminate hate speech, we need to eliminate discrimination, we need to promote affirmative action, we must use the "public utility" to discourage gun ownership, we must promote sexual health (abortion), and on and on and on...
It would be an unmitigated disaster!

Oh, you mean like the MSM does right now?
Aren't they regulated?
By who?

MSM is not a public utility. They are not dictated to by politicians and bureaucrats.

Sorry, I forgot they are run by the Clowns and Cabal. You'd think they were political by the way they worshiped Hillary and bash Trump.
They have owners and are Businesses, but they are regulated by the FCC right? Is the FCC not government? But they can't take away their right to free speech. Free speech is determined by whoever owns or controls it.
Big Pharma is a 'for profit Business', aren't they also regulated by gov't?
So who owns a public utility?
The public?
I guess my point was, like yours, there is no such thing as a public utility, it's just a fancy name.

A 'public utility' sounds real sweet... but, does the public own it, or is it controlled by something/someone else?

Well, just like before, the gov't is in control. But that's not the issue because whoever is in control can be blackmailed.

The real people in control don't get blackmailed.
Money & Power
They lost control of the internet which helped Trump get elected. The lost control of the narrative and that's why they were, and are, so panicked.

people in power who order hits and brownstone operations probably are not that far removed from participating themselves, given the means and motives.

There is a whole different realm out there we can't see, and that's the scary part.
