At Davos, Billionaire investor George Soros says Google and Facebook are “monopolistic,” and accused them of “deliberately engineering addiction.” Due to their potential for harm, particularly for adolescents, Soros called for their regulation.
“They claim they are merely distributing information,” Soros said. “But the fact that they are near-monopoly distributors makes them public utilities and should subject them to more stringent regulations, aimed at preserving competition, innovation, and fair and open universal access.”
