You don't need access to Google and Facebook to access information, there is an entire giant network out there for sharing information beyond Google and Facebook; there is zero valid reason to regulate these companies.

Except they try to keep users out of these networks and inside their platforms while having an absolute market share.
Every monopoly should be regulated and, preferably, broke up.

No, they shouldn't be and the law doesn't agree with you. You have to be a bad actor before such laws apply, you shouldn't be broken up merely because no one else can compete.
Google and Facebook appropriated the natural course of the evolution of information exchange between humans and should be regulated.
