How is an essential oligopoly in this area by a few companies with virtually no government regulation not a problem? Mass media has been replaced by social media, yet none of the regulation that held media to a modicum of standards exists for these companies.

Can you give an example of how public discourse was dictated over the past 24 hours by these corporations? Just one?

24 hours? Who the hell knows? But did you not just watch the last election where advertisers could spread lies to wide reaching audiences with no repercussions? And these companies were happy to take the money of whomever would pay them to provide viewers for these lies.
These companies want to provide and curate content to sell ad space without the responsibility that every other publisher has to live up to with regards to accuracy or libellous content. If you don't see why that's a problem then I don't know what to say.
