You have those already, facebook operates according to US laws. If not, it will be prosecuted. Of course, maybe government mandated ones will be better? Like public television in my country, where it is just a propaganda machine for currently ruling party? You think it will not be "moderated" by ruling party in US when operated as a public government owned utility?

Facebook has many more rules about what content can and cannot be posted than the law requires. A public utility wouldn't even need a Terms of Service page.
