Summary:

Government-led regulation of free speech is nearly always problematic. Regulating such an entity — which operates in all but a handful of countries in the world — is extremely complex. Add in the scale of the platform — with more than 2 billion monthly users — and it’s little wonder that there have been few quick fixes. The current regimes in Hungary, Russia, Poland, Pakistan, Brazil, or Turkey — to name but a few — would dearly love to “regulate” Facebook. We may have some sense of what would be lost.
