We'll get anti-google/facebook/tech propaganda campaign like in the past. Remember the months/years of neverending anti-google "news"? Remember the months/years of neverending anti-facebook "news"? Followed by congressional hearings/etc. Notice how it all seemed to have stopped when google/youtube/facebook/etc decided to give state-backed "news" companies preferential treatment on their platforms?
> I think Google and Facebook have more power in this relationship
In purely business/financial terms, sure. But not in the media/political terms. You think these tech companies have more power than state backed news companies?
