I agree with what I think your perspective is, that the internet is kind of impossible to regulate.
But maybe in this situation it's not so impossible to do something useful, Facebook is so effective at the moment because it's a centralized, surveilling monopolistic social network. This centralisation makes them easy to regulate.
You can imagine decentralised networks which would be impossible to regulate but it feels like they'd then also be harder for advertisers/propagandists to access effectively and use to control people's ideas.
So more regulation is a solution? I mean I see what you are getting at. But this is definitly not the direction we as humanity should go.
Regulation can and will just lead to information bubbles and yet again giving the power in the wrong hands, but in that case a central authority instead of a open market.
