I'm not sure what you mean by "nationalizing social media"?

Making it so social media answered to a national review of any type.

The current pitch, all 3 sides are proposing, is to strike down that law that prevents social media companies from being liable for things users post, i forget the exact dealio number and law name, Whale remembers I'm sure?

The social media companies convinced america that it would be bad to do that back in the late 90s or 2000s, and we all agreed and so they made that a law.

But now they all changed their minds, the media companies too, mostly because they now have empires large enough to be able to pay for the review boards, while competition would not, so it puts them at a great advantage to maintain control of the "airwaves" so to speak.

So yeah that's the current status of social media laws in this country and where they're headed, because there is not one group that argues against changing the law.

edit: Oh yeah should metion media companies like CNN and FOX also want this to happen because they are losing control of the airwaves to social media and user created content on youtube.
